Parotid gland radiation dose-xerostomia relationships based on actual delivered dose for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Xerostomia induced by radiotherapy is a common toxicity for head and neck carcinoma patients. In this study, the deformable image registration of planning computed tomography (CT) and weekly cone-beam CT (CBCT) was used to override the Hounsfield unit value of CBCT, and the modified CBCT was introduced to estimate the radiation dose delivered during the course of treatment. Herein, the beams from each patient's treatment plan were applied to the modified CBCT to construct the weekly delivered dose. Then, weekly doses were summed together to obtain the accumulated dose. A total of 42 parotid glands (PGs) of 21 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were analyzed. Doses delivered to the parotid glands significantly increased compared with the planning doses. V
