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

Aim To investigate the variation of tumor volume during moderate hypo-fractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Patients and Methods Twenty patients, who received SBRT at our institution, were included in the analysis. A prescribed dose was 56 Gy at iso-center in seven fractions. Tumor volumes before and during SBRT were calculated. In order to investigate factors affecting the variation of tumor volume in RT 2 (after first irradiation) and RT 7 (after last irradiation), various parameters were verified by the Mann-Whitney
