Optimization of skin dose using in-vivo MOSFET dose measurements in bolus/non-bolus fraction ratio: A VMAT and a 3DCRT study.
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 8 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-phantom and in-vivo three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) skin doses, measured with and without bolus in a female anthropomorphic phantom RANDO and in patients, were compared against treatment planning system calculated values. A thorough characterization of the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor measurement system was performed prior to the measurements in phantoms and patients. Patients with clinical indication for postoperative external radiotherapy were selected. Skin dose showed higher values with 3DCRT technique compared with VMAT. The increase in skin dose due to the use of bolus was quantified. It was observed that, in the case of VMAT, the bolus effect on the skin dose was considerable when compared with 3DCRT. From the point of view of treatment time, bolus cost, and positioning reproducibility, the use of bolus in these situations can be optimized.
