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

backgroundThis work aimed to determine the optimum VOLO

methods1056 treatment plans were generated with VOLO

resultsThe mean beam-on time for the helical tomotherapy and TomoDirect (TD) plans decreased by 26.6 ± 2.8% and 17.4 ± 4.3%, respectively, when the accelerated treatment parameter was increased from 0 to 10, at the expense of the planning target volume (PTV) coverage (2% lower D

conclusionOptimal values for the AT, LOT cutoff, NTO weight, and number of optimization rounds were identified and should help improve the management of patients whose tomotherapy treatments are planned with VOLO
