A step and shoot intensity modulated technique for total body irradiation.
Article in Technical innovations & patient support in radiation oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
introductionTotal body irradiation (TBI) is a part of the conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplant.At the Royal Marsden (Sutton, UK) and Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen, Denmark), we introduced a step and shoot IMRT (SS IMRT) technique for TBI. This technique requires no equipment other than that used to deliver other external beam radiation. In this paper, we describe this technique and report on data from the two clinics. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe patients were positioned supine, supported by vacuum bag(s). The entire body of the patients were CT scanned with 5 mm slices. Multiple multi-leaf collimator (MLC) defined fields were used.In-vivo dosimetry was performed at the Royal Marsden for 113 patients.Calculated doses for 18 adult and 4 paediatric patients from Rigshospitalet were extracted.
resultsThe in-vivo data from the Royal Marsden showed that the mean TLD measured dose difference was -1.9% with a standard deviation of 4.5%.SS IMRT plans for 22 patients from Rigshospitalet resulted in mean doses to the brain, lungs and kidneys all within the range of 11.1-11.8 Gy, while the V(12 Gy) was below 5% for the brain, 2% for the lungs and 0% for the kidneys. DISCUSSION: SS IMRT is feasible for TBI and can deliver targeted doses to the organs at risk.
