1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In the forward intensity-modulated radiotherapy (FIMRT) technique of treatment planning, the isocenter cannot fulfill the requirements of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) reference point. This study aimed to propose dose prescription points to be used in breast and head/neck cancer patients treated using the FIMRT technique. Two-hundred patients with head/neck (n = 100) and breast (n = 100) cancers were selected. Treatment plans involved using the FIMRT technique. The suggested reference points (SRPs) for dose prescription were placed at selected locations in the lateral neck site and the tangential site in breast and head/neck cancer patients, respectively. Next, doses at the SRPs (D
