Hypofractionated Hybrid Radiotherapy Techniques for Synchronous Bilateral Breast Cancer.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThis study intends at a dosimetric comparison of four different hybrid plans which is a combination of different radiation therapy techniques, for synchronous bilateral breast cancer (SBBC) irradiation using a hypofractionated dose regimen.
methodsFour different hybrid techniques: 3DCRT+IMRT, 3DCRT+VMAT, IMRT+VMAT, and VMAT+IMRT were planned using computed tomography (CT) images of fifteen SBBC patients. All hybrid plans were generated using a hypofractionated dose prescription of 40.5 Gy in 15 fractions. 70% of the dose was planned with a base-dose component and the remaining 30% of the dose was planned with a hybrid component. The plans were evaluated based on the PTV and organs at risk (OARs) dosimetric parameter results and computed a plan quality score for each plan.
resultsThe results for PTV parameters have shown that the 3DCRT+VMAT and 3DCRT+IMRT plans were better than other plans. The 3DCRT±IMRT plan was provided better results for OARs, while IMRT±VMAT and VMAT+IMRT plans were increased the low dose volumes to the heart and lungs. The 3DCRT+VMAT plan was required less monitor units and treatment time compared to other plans.
conclusionThe overall plan quality score that integrated the dosimetric parameters of PTV and OARs indicated that the 3DCRT+VMAT hybrid plan is superior for SBBC treatment.
