Dose-volume Histogram Analysis of Knowledge-based Volumetric-modulated Arc Therapy Planning in Postoperative Breast Cancer Irradiation.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
BACKGROUND/
aimWe evaluated the dosimetric profiles of manually generated volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans and performance of a commercial knowledge-based planning system (KBP) in treating breast cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe defined the manually generated VMAT plan as the manual plan (MP). Twenty MPs were generated for left-sided breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery and used to develop a KBP training set. The other five patients were used for validation. The dosimetric parameters among MPs, tangential irradiation plans (TPs), and KBP-VMAT plans (KBP-Ps) were compared.
resultsD
conclusionMPs and KBP-Ps could ensure higher dose uniformity of PTV than TPs. KBP could faster generate comparable MPs for breast cancer.
