Comparison of combinations of irradiation techniques and jaw conditions in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for lung cancer.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo assist in the selection of a suitable combination of an irradiation technique and jaw condition in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) for lung cancer treatment plans. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty patients with lung cancer who underwent radiotherapy were enrolled retrospectively. They were categorized as having central lung cancer, peripheral lung cancer with mediastinal lymph node metastasis (peripheral E lung cancer), and peripheral lung cancer without mediastinal lymph node metastasis (peripheral N lung cancer). Four treatment plans were designed for each patient: fixed jaw and adaptive jaw IMRT technique (FJ-IMRT and JA-IMRT), and fixed jaw and jaw tracking VMAT technique (FJ-VMAT and JT-VMAT). The dose parameters of the four group plans were compared and analyzed.
resultsCompared to FJ-IMRT, JA-IMRT significantly reduced the mean dose (D
conclusionBased on the dosimetric findings and considering clinical data published on lung and heart side effects, we propose recommendations on the preferred treatment technique based on tumor location and pulmonary function. For central lung cancer with normal pulmonary function, we advise JT-VMAT techniques. Conversely, for central lung cancer with poor pulmonary function, we recommend JA-IMRT techniques. We advocate JA-IMRT for peripheral E lung cancer. For peripheral N lung cancer, JT-VMAT techniques are strongly recommended.
