Low-Dose Computed Tomography Scanning Protocols for Online Adaptive Proton Therapy of Head-and-Neck Cancers.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo evaluate the suitability of low-dose CT protocols for online plan adaptation of head-and-neck patients.
methodsWe acquired CT scans of a head phantom with protocols corresponding to CT dose index volume CTDI
resultsThe maximum differences in
conclusionThe differences between low-dose protocols and the standard scanning protocol were marginal. Thus, low-dose CT protocols are suitable for online adaptive proton therapy of head-and-neck cancers. As such, considering scanning protocols used in our clinic, the imaging dose associated with online adaption of head-and-neck cancers treated with protons can be reduced by a factor of 40.
