Three-dimensional arterial spin labeling-guided dose painting radiotherapy for non-enhancing low-grade gliomas.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 investigate the feasibility and dosimetric characteristics of dose painting for non-enhancing low-grade gliomas (NE-LGGs) guided by three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL). MATERIALS AND
methodsEighteen patients with NE-LGGs were enrolled. 3D-ASL, T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2 Flair) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images were obtained. The gross tumor volume (GTV) was delineated on the T2 Flair. The hyper-perfusion region of the GTV (GTV-ASL) was determined by 3D-ASL, and the GTV-SUB was obtained by subtracting the GTV-ASL from the GTV. The clinical target volume (CTV) was created by iso-tropically expanding the GTV by 1 cm. The planning target volume (PTV), PTV-ASL were obtained by expanding the external margins of the CTV, GTV-ASL, respectively. PTV-SUB was generated by subtracting PTV-ASL from PTV. Three plans were generated for each patient: a conventional plan (plan 1) without dose escalation delivering 95-110% of 45-60 Gy in 1.8-2 Gy fractions to the PTV and two dose-painting plans (plan 2 and plan 3) with dose escalating by 10-20% (range, 50-72 Gy) to the PTV-ASL based on plan 1. The plan 3 was obtained from plan 2 without the maximum dose constraint. The dosimetric differences among the three plans were compared.
resultsThe volume ratio of the PTV-ASL to the PTV was (23.49 ± 11.94)% (Z = - 3.724, P = 0.000). Compared with plan 1, D
conclusionThe dose delivered to hyper-perfusion volume derived from 3D-ASL can increased by 10-20% while respecting the constraints to the OARs for NE-LGGs, which provides a basis for future individualized and precise radiotherapy, especially if the contrast agent cannot be injected or when contrast enhancement is uncertain.
