Total Body Irradiation and Total Skin Irradiation Techniques in Belgium and the Netherlands: Current Clinical Practice.
Article in Advances in radiation oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeIn 2014, a Belgian/Dutch Nederlandse Commissie voor Stralingsdosimetrie (NCS) task group was formed to develop guidelines on the clinical practice of total body irradiation (TBI) and total skin irradiation (TSI). METHODS AND MATERIALS: As a basis for these guidelines, a survey conducted among 17 Belgian and Dutch radiation oncology institutions measured the clinical practice of TBI. Four of these institutions also performed TSI. An update was performed in 2019 and 2020 because several institutions innovated their TBI techniques.
resultsAs old and more recent studies have shown, clinical protocols for TBI and TSI still vary considerably between institutions.
conclusionsNew radiation therapy technologies have been introduced relatively slowly for TBI purposes.
