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

Traditional methods of treatment planning and plan evaluation involve the use of generic dose-constraints. We aimed to build a web-based application to generate individualized dose-constraints and plan evaluation against a library of prior approved plan dose-volume histograms (DVH).A prototype was built for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans for prostate cancer. Using exported DVH files from the Varian and Accuray treatment planning systems, a library of plan DVHs was built by data extraction. Given structure volumes of a patient to be planned, a web based application was built to derive individual dose-constraints of the planning target volume (PTV) and organs-at-risk (OAR) based on achieved doses in a library of prior approved plans with similar anatomical volumes, selected using an interactive dashboard. A second web application was built to compare the achieved DVHs of the newly created plan against a library of plans of similar patients.These web application prototypes are a proof of principle that simple freely available tools can be built for library based planning and review.
