Intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma: the dosimetric impact.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposePurposes are (1) to measure main radiation parameters and (2) to propose a method to estimate the absorbed doses of internal organs starting from DAP values. Measuring the exposition of internal organs by repeated irradiations on an anthropomorphic phantom with the same settings used in vivo, we could establish correlations between (1) DAP and the dose recorded by a dosimeter placed along the X-ray beam entrance pathway; (2) the dose recorded by the same dosimeter and the absorbed dose in internal organs.
methodsForty-four consecutive patients (16 males, 28 females) (mean age 35.4 months) treated at our institution with IAC (216 procedures: 196 via the ICA and 20 into branches of the ECA) were included in this prospective study. IAC was divided into 5 phases. Fluoroscopic time, DAP, and ESD were measured.
resultsThe mean DAP was 595 ± 445 cGy cm
conclusionThis paper describes a method of absorbed dose estimation providing ranges used clinically in a single practice and the basis for further prospective studies.
