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

backgroundWhole bladder irradiation is an organ preservation treatment approach for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Conventional planning margins, typically 15-20 mm, increase normal tissue toxicity and limit possible dose escalation. PURPOSE: The study aimed to develop a patient-specific adaptive margin recipe for whole bladder irradiation to minimize the planning target volume (PTV) while preserving adequate dose coverage.

methodsSixteen patients who received whole-bladder irradiation were retrospectively selected for this study. We proposed a patient-specific anisotropic adaptive margin recipe, derived from the first five fractions of kV-CBCTs, to account for inter-fractional bladder changes. This recipe was validated using kV-CBCTs from fractions six to ten and the final five fractions. The goal was to achieve a residual volume, defined as the percentage of daily bladder volume (V

results(V

conclusionsThe proposed patient-specific adaptive margin recipe for whole bladder irradiation resulted in margins smaller than conventional ones, optimized normal tissue sparing, and maintained adequate PTV coverage.
