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

backgroundLung cancer has been one of the most deadly illnesses all over the world, and radiotherapy can be an effective approach for treating lung cancer. Now, mathematical model has been extended to many biomedical fields to give a hand for analysis, evaluation, prediction, and optimization.

methodsIn this paper, we propose a multicomponent mathematical model for simulating the lung cancer growth as well as radiotherapy treatment for lung cancer. The model is digitalized and coded for computer simulation, and the model parameters are fitted with many research and clinical data to provide accordant results along with the growth of lung cancer cells in vitro.

resultsSome typical radiotherapy plans such as stereotactic body radiotherapy, conventional fractional radiotherapy, and accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy are simulated, analyzed, and discussed. The results show that our mathematical model can perform the basic work for analysis and evaluation of the radiotherapy plan.

conclusionIt will be expected that in the near future, mathematical model will be a valuable tool for optimization in personalized medical treatment.
