Dynamic conformal arc radiotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer: a comparison with static-beam conformal radiotherapy.
Article in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology, 2022. 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
Background: This study investigated whether the dose distribution of lung cancer can be improved by dynamic arc conformal radiotherapy (dynamic CRT) compared with static multiple-beam radiotherapy (static CRT). Materials and methods: A dummy study of static CRT and dynamic CRT was performed, designed to meet the predetermined dose constraints. A dose of 60 Gy in 30 fractions was administered using two dose prescription methods: dose prescribed to the isocenter (IC prescription), and dose prescribed to > 50% of the planning target volume (D50 prescription). Dose-volume parameters were compared between the plans. Results: Among 20 patients with locally advanced lung cancer, dose conformity was significantly better with dynamic CRT than static CRT (median conformity index: 1.3 Conclusion: The dynamic CRT technique showed better target coverage and lower doses to the spinal cord in exchange for increased low-dose lung area, compared with static CRT. Dynamic CRT with D50 prescription instead of prescription to the isocenter has excellent dose distribution profiles without compromising doses to organs at risk for lung cancer at favorable locations.
