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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the tumor volume changes occurring during limited-field radiotherapy (RT) for glioblastoma patients and whether a volume-adapted boost planning approach provided any benefit on tumor coverage and normal tissue sparing. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-four patients underwent simulation with magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) scans prior to RT (MR_initial, CT_initial) and boost treatment (MR_adapt, CT_adapt). For the boost phase, MR_initial and MR_adapt images were used to delineate GTV2 and GTV2_adapt, respectively. An initial boost plan (Plan_initial) created on CT_initial for PTV2 was then reoptimized on CT_adapt by keeping the same optimization and normalization values. Plan_adapt was generated on CT_adapt for PTV2_adapt volume. Dose volume histogram parameters for target volumes and organs-at-risk were compared using these boost plans generated on CT_adapt. Plan_initial and Plan_adaptive boost plans were summed with the first phase plan and the effect on the total dose was investigated.

resultsTarget volume expansion was noted in 21% of patients while 79% had shrinkage. The average difference for the initial and adaptive gross tumor volume (GTV), clinical target volume (CTV), and planning target volume (PTV) volumes were statistically significant. Maximum dose differences for brainstem and optic chiasm were significant. Healthy brain tissue V10 and ipsilateral optic nerve maximum doses were found to decrease significantly in Plan_adaptive.

conclusionResults of this study confirm occurrence of target volume changes during RT for glioblastoma patients. An adaptive plan can provide better normal tissue sparing for patients with lesion shrinkage and avoid undercoverage of treatment volumes in case of target volume expansion especially when limited-fields are used.
