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

backgroundRadiation therapy plays a pivotal role as the primary adjuvant treatment for esophageal cancer (EPC), emphasizing the critical importance of carefully balancing radiation doses to the target area and organs at risk in the radiotherapeutic management of esophageal cancer.

aimsThis study aimed to explore the correlation between morphological parameters and dosimetric parameters of the heart and spinal cord in intermediate- and advanced-stage esophagus cancer to provide a reference for clinical treatment. METHODS AND

resultsA total of 105 patients with intermediate- and advanced-stage EPC, who received treatment in our hospital from 2019 to 2021, were included. The morphological parameters were calculated by imaging. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy plan was executed at Raystation4.7. The PTV-G stood for the externally expanded planning target volume (PTV) of the gross tumor volume (GTV) and PTV-C for the externally expanded volume of the clinical target volume (CTV). The prescription dose of PTV-G and PTV-C was set as 60Gy/30F and 54Gy/30F, respectively. The linear regression model was used to analyze the correlation between morphologic parameters of EPC and dosimetric parameters of the heart and spinal cord. In 105 cases, the total lung length was correlated with the spinal cord maximum dose (D

conclusionsCombined with the unsegmented tumor and different locations, the organ at risk dose was comprehensively considered.
