Deep inspiration breath-hold for patients with left-sided breast cancer - A one-fits-all approach? A prospective analysis of patient selection using dosimetrical and practical aspects.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo prospectively analyze the feasibility of an algorithm for patient preparation, treatment planning, and selection for deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) treatment of left-sided breast cancer.
methodsFrom February 2017 to July 2019, 135 patients with left-sided breast cancer were selected and prepared for radiotherapy in DIBH. 99 received radiotherapy for the breast alone and 36 for the breast including the lymphatic drainage (RNI). Treatment plans DIBH and free breathing (FB) were calculated. Dosimetrical analyses were performed, and criteria were defined to assess whether a patient would dosimetrically profit from DIBH.
resultsOf the 135 patients, 97 received a DIBH planning CT and 72 were selected for treatment in DIBH according to predefined criteria. When using DIBH, there was a mean reduction of the Dmean
conclusionDosimetrically, DIBH is no "one-fits-all" approach. However, there is a statistically significant benefit when looking at a larger patient population. DIBH should be used for treatment of left-sided breast cancer in patients fit for DIBH. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This analysis offers a well-designed dosimetrical analysis in patients treated with DIBH radiotherapy in an "every day" cohort.
