Extended SSD VMAT treatment for total body irradiation.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
In this work, we develop a total body irradiation technique that utilizes arc delivery, a buildup spoiler, and inverse optimized multileaf collimator (MLC) motion to shield organs at risk. The current treatment beam model is verified to confirm its applicability at extended source-to-surface distance (SSD). The delivery involves 7-8 volumetric modulated arc therapy arcs delivered to the patient in the supine and prone positions. The patient is positioned at a 90° couch angle on a custom bed with a 1 cm acrylic spoiler to increase surface dose. Single-step optimization using a patient CT scan provides enhanced dose homogeneity and limits organ at risk dose. Dosimetric data of 109 TBI patients treated with this technique is presented along with the clinical workflow. Treatment planning system (TPS) verification measurements were performed at an extended SSD of 175 cm. Measurements included: a 4-point absolute depth-dose curve, profiles at 1.5, 5, and 10 cm depth, absolute point-dose measurements of an treatment field, 2D Gafchromic
