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

This article presents a case of a patient with advanced head and neck cancer, characterized by a large and protruding tumor. The patient was treated with an innovative on-demand online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) technology, guided by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), on the Ethos adaptive radiotherapy platform (version 1.0, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA). A solution was provided for this special case to address the issue where part of the target volume could not participate in the optimization due to exceeding the external contour boundary during online adaptive radiotherapy. The treatment outcome was satisfactory in terms of tumor regression, while only grade 1 radiodermatitis and grade 2 oral mucositis at the end of radiotherapy. This article discusses the clinical diagnosis, treatment process, and follow-up of this case, aiming to provide clinical references for a broader application of this technology.
