The dosimetric benefit of in-advance respiratory training for deep inspiration breath holding is realized during daily treatment in left breast radiotherapy: A comparative retrospective study of serial surface motion tracking.

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
introductionA novel approach of in-advance preparatory respiratory training and practice for deep inspiration breath holding (DIBH) has been shown to further reduce cardiac dose in breast cancer radiotherapy patients, enabled by deeper (extended) DIBH. Here we investigated the consistency and stability of such training-induced extended DIBH after training completion and throughout the daily radiotherapy course.
methodsDaily chestwall motion from real-time surface tracking transponder data was analysed in 67 left breast radiotherapy patients treated in DIBH. Twenty-seven received preparatory DIBH training/practice (
resultsThe average of daily maximum chestwall excursions was overall similar, 2.5 ± 0.6 mm for
conclusionSimilar stability of daily DIBH among patients with and without preparatory training/practice suggests that the training-induced extended DIBH and cardiac dose reductions were effectively sustained throughout the radiotherapy course. Training further reduced beyond-tolerance chestwall excursions, particularly in patients with cardiopulmonary disease.
