Influencing Factors of Total Skin Irradiation With Helical Tomotherapy.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: To investigate the influencing factors of total skin irradiation (TSI) with helical tomotherapy for guiding the clinical selection of the suitable parameters and optimizing the plan quality and efficiency. Materials and Methods: Six patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) who received TSI were retrospectively selected. They were all dressed with 5 mm thick diving suits during the CT scan and treatment as a bolus to increase the superficial dose through buildup. The dose prescription was 24 Gy in 20 fractions and 5 times per week. During the planned pretreatment, Ring0, Ring1, Ring2, Ring3, and Ring4 of 1 cm thick away from the planning target volume (PTV) at the distances of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 cm and other normal tissues (NTs) were generated, respectively. The auxiliary structures were completely blocked during planning; while the field widths were 5 and 2.5 cm, the pitches were 0.287 and 0.215, the modulation factors were 4 and 3, and the other parameters remained consistent. Finally, the dose parameters of PTV and auxiliary structures, as well as the beam on time (BOT) and gantry period, were compared and analyzed. Results: when the auxiliary structures were completely blocked with distance to PTV (d Conclusion: During planning with TSI patients, d
