Feasibility of lattice radiotherapy using proton and carbon-ion pencil beam for sinonasal malignancy.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Sinonasal malignancies are a treatment challenge because of their complex anatomy and close proximity to organs at risk (OARs). We aimed to investigate the feasibility of lattice radiotherapy (LRT) using pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton or carbon-ion beams in the treatment of sinonasal malignancies. Methods: A total of 10 patients with nonoperative and bulky sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) were enrolled. Spherical vertices with a 1 cm diameter and average center-to-center (c-t-c) distance of 3.51 cm were delineated within the gross tumor volumes (GTVs). The prescription doses were 15 Gy[relative biologic effectiveness (RBE)] to the vertices and 3 to 3.5 Gy(RBE) to the periphery, delivered as clinical target volume boosts (CTVboosts) in 1 fraction. Photon, proton, and carbon-ion LRT plans were generated. Peak-to-valley dose ratios (PVDRs) and the doses delivered to the vertices, the CTVboost, and OARs were compared among the 3 plans. Results: The mean PVDR Conclusions: Despite minimal differences in PVDR, proton and carbon-ion LRT plans can better protect OARs than photon LRT plans.
