Functional lung imaging in thoracic tumor radiotherapy: Application and progress.
Review 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, 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
Radiotherapy plays an irreplaceable and unique role in treating thoracic tumors, but the occurrence of radiation-induced lung injury has limited the increase in tumor target doses and has influenced patients' quality of life. However, the introduction of functional lung imaging has been incorporating functional lungs into radiotherapy planning. The design of the functional lung protection plan, while meeting the target dose requirements and dose limitations of the organs at risk (OARs), minimizes the radiation dose to the functional lung, thus reducing the occurrence of radiation-induced lung injury. In this manuscript, we mainly reviewed the lung ventilation or/and perfusion functional imaging modalities, application, and progress, as well as the results based on the functional lung protection planning in thoracic tumors. In addition, we also discussed the problems that should be explored and further studied in the practical application based on functional lung radiotherapy planning.
