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

objectiveTo setup a three-component tumor growth mathematical model and discuss its basic application in tumor fractional radiotherapy with computer simulation.

methodFirst, our three-component tumor growth model extended from the classical Gompertz tumor model was formulated and applied to a fractional radiotherapy with a series of proper parameters. With the computer simulation of our model, the impact of some parameters such as fractional dose, amount of quiescent tumor cells, and α/β value to the effect of radiotherapy was also analyzed, respectively.

resultsWith several optimal technologies, the model could run stably and output a series of convergent results. The simulation results showed that the fractional radiotherapy dose could impact the effect of radiotherapy significantly, while the amount of quiescent tumor cells and α/β value did that to a certain extent.

conclusionsSupported with some proper parameters, our model can simulate and analyze the tumor radiotherapy program as well as give some theoretical instruction to radiotherapy personalized optimization.
