Influence of 3D-CRT and conformal IMRT on thyroid function of patients with cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer and comparison of clinical efficacy.
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Clinical efficacy in patients with cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer was compared between three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and conformal intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Medical data of 120 esophageal cancer patients undergoing RT in the Radiology Department in Xiaogan Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology (Xiaogan, China) from March 2015 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 3D-CRT group (treated with 3D-CRT, n=60) and IMRT group (treated with IMRT, n=60). The target conformal index (CI), PTV maximum dose (D
