Cardiac dose in the treatment of synchronous bilateral breast cancer patients between three different radiotherapy techniques (VMAT, IMRT, and 3D CRT).
Article in Discover oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeSynchronous bilateral irradiation of both mammary glands and chest wall is a challenging task due to technical difficulties and limited evidence supporting an optimal technique to improve treatment outcomes. We studied and compared the dosimetry data of three radiotherapy techniques to select the most optimal one.
methodsWe compared three-dimensional conformal radiation treatment (3D CRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) during irradiation of synchronous bilateral breast cancer in nine patients followed by examination of dose distribution to the cardiac conduction system (SA node, AV node and Bundle of His), myocardium, lungs, left anterior descending artery (LADA) and right coronary artery (RCA) .
resultsVMAT is the most sparing technique for SBBC treatment. Even though doses to the SA node, AV node and Bundle of His were higher with VMAT (D
conclusionVMAT is the optimal and satisfactory radiation therapy technique for sparing organs at risk (OARs). With VMAT, a lower D
