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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of plan complexity on the dosimetry, delivery accuracy, and interplay effect in lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with 6 MV flattening-filter-free (FFF) beam.
methodsTwenty patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer were included. For each patient, high-complexity (HC) and low-complexity (LC) three-partial-arc VMAT plans were optimized by adjusting the normal tissue objectives and the maximum monitoring units (MUs) for a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA, USA) using 6 MV FFF beam. The effect of plan complexity was comprehensively evaluated in three aspects: (1) The dosimetric parameters, including CI, D
resultsThe dosimetry of HC and LC plans were similar except the CI (1.003 ± 0.032 and 1.026 ± 0.043, p = 0.030) and D
conclusionFor lung VMAT SBRT, LC plans have a higher delivery accuracy and a lower motion-induced dose deviation with similar dosimetry compared with HC plans.
