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

purposeThis is a radiation field simulation study using CT images designed to see the cochlear dosimetry and its correlation with tumour and treatment characteristics during radiotherapy for head and neck cancers (HNC) for identifying the factors associated with a higher dose delivered to the cochlea.

methodsFrom 2018 to 2020, 80 patients with HNC underwent volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) to a dose of 66-70 Gy at 2 Gy per fraction with bilateral cochlea contoured for VMAT optimization as an organ at risk. Minimum, mean and maximum planned radiation dose to the cochlea based on tumour and treatment characteristics and dose-volume histogram variables of VMAT plans were analysed.

resultsMean (standard deviation, SD) cochlear volume was 0.14 (0.06) cm
