Pulmonary Function after Proton Therapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Article in International journal of particle therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeAcute and late toxicity from chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy can cause significant morbidity among survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), including pulmonary dysfunction. Improved dosimetry may influence pulmonary function tests (PFTs), an objective and clinically significant measure of pulmonary toxicity. The present study investigates the impact of proton therapy on PFTs among HL survivors. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe monitored 15 patients with mediastinal HL who were enrolled in an institutional HL trial. All patients were treated with combination chemotherapy plus involved-node proton therapy. All patients were to undergo PFTs before starting treatment and at approximately 6 and 12 months after completing proton therapy.
resultsTwelve patients were included in the analysis and 3 excluded. The mean forced vital capacity (FVC) was 96.2% ± 16.5% (mean ± SD) predicted at baseline and 98.2% ± 19.4% predicted at 12 months. The mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV
conclusionNo unexpected changes were observed to the lungs as illustrated through follow-up PFTs. Long-term follow-up and validation in a larger cohort are needed.
