1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study evaluated the correlation between radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and dosimetric parameters on computed tomography (CT) images of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). MATERIALS AND

methodsSixty-three stage I NSLC patients who underwent IMRT were enrolled in the study. The patients underwent CT within 6 months (acute phase) and 1.5 years (late phase) after radiotherapy. These were fused with the planned irradiation CT. The range of RILI was measured from 10% to 100%, with an IC in 10% increments.

resultsThe median interval from completion of radiotherapy to acute and late phase CT was 92 and 440 days, respectively. The median RILI ranges of the acute and late phases were in the 80% (20-100%) and 70% dose regions (20-100%), respectively. The significantly narrower range of RILI when lung V20 in the acute phase was less than 19.2% and that of V5 in the late phase was less than 27.6% at the time of treatment planning.

conclusionsThis study showed that RILI occurred in a localized range in stage I NSCLC patients who underwent IMRT. The range of RILI was correlated with V20 in the acute phase and V5 in the late phase. KEY MESSAGES RILI correlated with V20 in acute and V5 in late phase. The shadow of RILI occurred in 80% dose region in acute and 70% in late phase. No relationship exists between radiographic changes in RILI and PTV volume.
