Impact of bladder volume on treatment planning and clinical outcomes of radiotherapy for patients with cervical cancer.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the impact of bladder volume on treatment planning and clinical outcomes of radiotherapy for patients with cervical cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred and sixty-six patients with locally advanced cervical cancer were selected in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into four groups according to their average bladder volume during radiotherapy (external beam radiation therapy and intracavitary brachytherapy): group A: V<100 mL, group B: 100 mL≤V≤150 mL, group C: 150 mL<V≤200 mL, group D: V>200 mL. The bladder volume and the cumulative dose to planning target (D90), bladder (D2cc), rectum (D2cc), and sigmoid (D2cc) were calculated using the treatment planning system. Treatment outcomes including late adverse events (the maximum grade of radiation-induced proctitis and cystitis), the objective response rate of tumor and lymph node, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were collected. Additionally, the correlation between bladder volume and the irradiated dose of organs at risk and treatment outcomes was analyzed.
resultsThe median follow-up time was 28 months. The D90 and D2cc of the rectum in group A were the highest (
conclusionFor patients with cervical cancer, the bladder volume significantly affected the delivered dose to target, rectum, and bladder. When the bladder volume range was 100-150 mL, the rate of late radiation-induced proctitis and cystitis was low and the degree of reaction was mild. This is thought to be the optimum bladder volume for patients with cervical cancer during radiotherapy.
