Dosimetric and Radiobiological Comparison of Five Techniques for Postmastectomy Radiotherapy with Simultaneous Integrated Boost.
Article in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo compare five techniques for the postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB). MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty patients with left-sided breast cancer were retrospectively selected. Five treatment plans were created for each patient: TomoDirect (TD), unblocked helical TomoTherapy (unb-HT), blocked HT (b-HT), hybrid intensity-modulated radiotherapy (hy-IMRT), and fixed-field IMRT (ff-IMRT). A dose of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions to PTV
resultsTD plans and hy-IMRT plans had similar good dose coverage and homogeneity for both PTV
conclusionOf the five techniques studied, TD and hy-IMRT are considered the preferable options for PMRT with SIB for left-sided breast cancer treatment and can be routinely applied in clinical practice.
