Treatment plan comparison of volumetric-modulated arc therapy to intensity-modulated radiotherapy in lung stereotactic body radiotherapy using either 6- or 10-MV photon energies.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to dosimetrically compare volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques using either 6- or 10-MV photon beam energies in lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) plans.
methodsThirty patients with primary or metastatic lung tumors eligible for SBRT were randomly selected. VMAT and IMRT treatment plans using either 6- or 10-MV photon energies were generated through automatic SBRT planning software in the RayStation treatment planning system.
resultsFor planning target volume, there was no difference in D
conclusionsFor lung SBRT plans, VMAT-based plans significantly reduced OARs dose and steepened dose fall-off curves compared to IMRT-based plans. A 6-MV energy level was a better choice than 10-MV for lung SBRT. In addition, the dose differences between different techniques were more obvious than those between different energy levels.
