Estimated radiation doses to ovarian and uterine organs in breast cancer irradiation using radio-photoluminescent glass dosimeters (RPLDs).
Article in Journal of medical radiation sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionThe well-being of breast cancer patients is essential, especially fertility in patients of reproductive age. The objective of this study was to estimate the radiation doses to the ovaries and uterus for different treatment techniques of breast cancer irradiation using radio-photoluminescent glass dosimeters (RPLDs).
methodsA Farmer-type ionisation chamber (IBA FC-65G) and RPLDs were used to measure in- and out-of-field radiation doses in a solid water phantom. The field sizes were set to 10 × 10 cm
resultsThe percentage ratio of out of field to in field was affected by distance from the central axis to the point of measurement, in addition to the field sizes associated with collimator scatter. Advanced techniques such as IMRT and VMAT produced higher doses to the ovaries and uterus. The estimated results of the worst-case scenario for the ipsilateral ovary, contralateral ovary and uterus were 0.84% (42 cGy), 0.62% (31 cGy) and 0.76% (38 cGy), respectively, for a 5000 cGy prescription dose.
conclusionThe lowest to highest out-of-field radiation doses to the ovarian and uterine organs from breast irradiation were the two tangential field techniques, VMAT and IMRT. These advanced techniques yielded higher radiation leakage, which potentially contributed to the out-of-field radiation dose.
