Multiple regression analysis of risk factors related to radiation pneumonitis.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. 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
backgroundRadiation pneumonitis (RP) is a severe complication of thoracic radiotherapy that may lead to dyspnea and lung fibrosis, and negatively affects patients' quality of life.
aimTo carry out multiple regression analysis on the influencing factors of radiation pneumonitis.
methodsRecords of 234 patients receiving chest radiotherapy in Huzhou Central Hospital (Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China) from January 2018 to February 2021, and the patients were divided into either a study group or a control group based on the presence of radiation pneumonitis or not. Among them, 93 patients with radiation pneumonitis were included in the study group and 141 without radiation pneumonitis were included in the control group. General characteristics, and radiation and imaging examination data of the two groups were collected and compared. Due to the statistical significance observed, multiple regression analysis was performed on age, tumor type, chemotherapy history, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), carbon monoxide diffusion volume (DLCO), FEV1/FVC ratio, planned target area (PTV), mean lung dose (MLD), total number of radiation fields, percentage of lung tissue in total lung volume (vdose), probability of normal tissue complications (NTCP), and other factors.
resultsThe proportions of patients aged ≥ 60 years and those with the diagnosis of lung cancer and a history of chemotherapy in the study group were higher than those in the control group (
conclusionWe have identified patient age, type of lung cancer, history of chemotherapy, lung function, and radiotherapy parameters as risk factors for radiation pneumonitis. Comprehensive evaluation and examination should be carried out before radiotherapy to effectively prevent radiation pneumonitis.
