Proton Therapy Reduces the Effective Dose to Immune Cells in Mediastinal Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients.
Article in International journal of particle therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: Effective dose to circulating immune cells (EDIC) is associated with survival in lung and esophageal cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the benefit of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for EDIC reduction compared with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in mediastinal Hodgkin lymphoma (mHL) patients. Materials and Methods: Ten consecutive mHL patients treated with involved-site IMPT after frontline chemotherapy were included. The mean dose to the heart, lung, and liver and the integral dose to the body were obtained, and we calculated EDIC based on these variables. The effective dose to circulating immune cells was compared between IMPT and VMAT schedules. Results: The median EDIC was reduced from 1.93 Gy (range: 1.31-3.87) with VMAT to 1.08 Gy (0.53-2.09) with IMPT ( Conclusion: Intensity-modulated proton therapy significantly reduced EDIC in mHL patients undergoing consolidation involved-site radiation therapy. Integral dose reduction combined with improved lung sparing was the main driver of EDIC reduction with IMPT.
