Deintensification Strategies Using Proton Beam Therapy for HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancer.
Article in International journal of particle therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Oropharyngeal cancers related to the human papillomavirus are a growing segment of head and neck cancers throughout the world. These cancers are biologically and demographically unique with patients presenting at younger ages and with more curable disease. This combination of factors heightens the importance of normal tissue sparing because patients will live a long time with treatment sequelae. Proton therapy has demonstrated benefits in reducing normal tissue exposure, which may lead to less toxicity, a higher quality of life, less immunologic suppression, and lower cost. Research investigating deintensified radiation volumes and doses are also underway. These deintensification studies synergize well with the beam characteristics of proton beam therapy and can decrease that already reduced normal tissue exposure enabled by proton therapy. Future studies should refine patient selection to best allow for volume and dose reduction paired with proton therapy.
