Correlation Between Dosimetric Parameters and Local Control in Definitive Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancers.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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/
aimRadiotherapy (RT) outcomes are generally reported based on stage, patient background, and concomitant chemotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the prescribed dose to gross tumor volume (GTV) and the calculation algorithm on local control in definitive RT for head and neck (H&N) cancers using follow-up images after RT. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included 154 patients with H&N cancers treated by Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy at the Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital. Patients were classified into those receiving definitive RT (70 Gy of irradiation) and those not receiving it. Follow-up images were used to categorize the patients into the responders and non-responders groups. In the non-responders group, follow-up images were imported into the treatment planning system, and the contours of the residual or recurrent areas (local failure) were extracted and fused with computed tomography-simulated images for treatment planning. Dose evaluation parameters included maximum dose, dose administered to 1% of the volume, dose administered to 50% of the volume, dose administered to 99% of the volume (D
resultsD
conclusionThis study emphasizes the importance of verifying dose distribution in all slices of treatment planning, highlighting the need for precise assessment of the dose to the GTV in head and neck cancers.
