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

BACKGROUND/

aimTo assess the dosimetric influence of a semi-cylindrical beam spoiler (sCBS) for the treatment of early glottic cancer using a 6 MV photon beam. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe 2D dose distributions were also calculated and measured with and without the sCBS and with a 0.5 cm thick bolus. A retrospective study of 8 patients treated between 2012 and 2018 was performed.

resultsThe 2D dose distributions obtained from the treatment planning system (TPS) and film measurements were in good agreement. In the planning study, the V

conclusionThe sCBS of the 6 MV photon beam could be a useful tool for the treatment of early glottic cancers.
