Dosimetric Comparison of Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy Techniques (IMRT) with Radiotherapy Dose Simulations for Left-Sided Mastectomy Patients.
Article in European journal of breast health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectiveTo compare 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques on the target tissue and critical organ doses in terms of dosimetry, during treatment planning of patient's post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) to the left chest wall. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty breast cancer patients with left-sided post-mastectomy have selected for PMRT both 3D-CRT and IMRT techniques. Dosimetric calculation of dose simulation in Eclipse treatment planning system have been performed. Organs at risk with the maximum dose, minimum dose, mean dose, D95, conformity and homogeneity indexes and total monitor unit for the Planning Target Volume were compared in terms of the critical organ doses.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the two treatment planning techniques in terms of maximum, minimum, mean dose and heterogeneity index (p>0.05). At low doses, the dose received at the heart was significantly lower with the 3D-CRT technique, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two techniques at the maximum and average doses in the high dose regions.
conclusionFor PMRT to the left chest wall, IMRT significantly improves the conformity of plan and reduce the high-dose volumes of ipsilateral lung and heart compared to 3D-CRT, but 3D-CRT is superior in terms of low-dose volume.
