1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

(1) Aim: This study was conducted to radiobiologically compare radiotherapy plans for gastric cancer with a newly developed software tool. (2) Methods: Treatment planning was performed on two computational phantoms simulating adult male and female patients. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for gastric cancer were generated with three-photon beam energies. The equivalent uniform dose (EUD), tumor control probability (TCP) of the target and normal tissue control probability (NTCP) of eight different critical organs were calculated. A new software was employed for these calculations using the EUD-based model and dose-volume-histogram data. (3) Results: The IMRT and VMAT plan led to TCPs of 51.3-51.5%, whereas 3D-CRT gave values up to 50.2%. The intensity-modulated techniques resulted in NTCPs of (5.3 × 10
