Correlation Between Dosimetric Parameters and Acute Dermatitis of Post-operative Radiotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimTo examine the correlation between dosimetric parameters and acute radiation dermatitis in early breast cancer patients subjected to post-operative radiotherapy. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe data of 84 patients treated with post-operative radiotherapy were analyzed. The total prescribed dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks. Radiation dermatitis was assessed according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. We set organ at risk whole body (from neck to abdomen examined by CT images) also as surrogate skin volume (3 mm thickness).
resultsA total of 28 patients showed radiation dermatitis grade equal or higher than 2 at the 50 Gy time point. These 28 patients were compared to 56 matched pair patients with grade 0-1 radiation dermatitis during the same treatment period. The mean of V5-20 and V40 in patient's whole volume and V40-50 in skin volume were significantly higher in patients who presented with acute radiation dermatitis Grades ≥2 than in the other patients who did not. The statistically most significant difference was observed for V40 for skin volume and V5 for patient whole volume. Rate of acute radiation dermatitis grade ≥2 was significantly higher for patients with V5 (whole body) >1,360 cm
conclusionDosimetric parameters were useful to predict radiation dermatitis grade ≥2. V5 (whole body) 1,360 cm
