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

Purpose: Dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET Methods and Materials: The LP treatment plans were designed with the in-house treatment planning system. For the plans, LET Results: The LP for 13 patients with head and neck cancer could keep D90s and D50s for the PTV within 1.0% of those by the conventional IMIT. Among the 13 patients, the mean LET Conclusions: While maintaining the dose coverage to the PTV as comparable to that for IMIT, the LP increased the mean LET
