[Proton therapy-a chance in the treatment of tumors of the head and neck and base of skull].
Review in Der Radiologe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRadiotherapy (RT) is an integral part of the treatment of many tumors located in the vicinity of sensitive organs and structures, including tumors of the head and neck and base of skull in particular. Due to the risk of side effects associated with RT, the use of highly conformal RT techniques is favored. For many indications, proton therapy (PT) is therefore already part of the modern treatment standard.
objectiveThis article presents an overview of current indications for PT with emphasis on tumors in the head and neck region and the base of skull. Furthermore, a summary and discussion of relevant results and current developments are included. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe work comprises an evaluation of relevant studies and an overview of current issues related to PT of tumors in the areas of the head, neck, and base of skull.
resultsOverall, the studies on PT show promising results. In addition to dosimetric studies, clinical studies also point to advantages of PT, especially with regard to the reduction of side effects. DISCUSSION: Currently, use of the model-based approach is being discussed. This is intended to identify those patients who benefit most from PT based on the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). PT for re-RT is also discussed.
