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

Purpose: To compare the hippocampus (HPC) dose reduced by HPC-sparing intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans between nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients of stages T1-T2 and T3-T4, and to investigate the correlation between the dose of the HPC and the volume of PTV Methods and Materials: Fifty-eight NPC patients were retrospectively evaluated. HPC-nonsparing IMRT or sparing IMRT for each patient was designed according to the protocol for NPC. Dose-volume histogram was used to evaluate the IMRT plans for each patient. The difference in values of HPC parameters (eg, D Results: There was no significance between HPC-sparing and nonsparing IMRT plans. Compared with the HPC-nonsparing plans, the HPC-sparing plans significantly decreased both dosimetric and volumetric parameters for the HPC ( Conclusions: HPC-sparing IMRT plans may play a more significant role in decreasing D
