A New Approach to Highly Conformal Hippocampal-sparing Whole-brain Radiotherapy: A Feasibility Study.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimHippocampal-sparing whole-brain radiotherapy (HS-WBRT) is increasingly used for multiple brain metastases. However, most studies have not reported dose conformity indices ( PATIENTS AND
methodsTen patients received 30 Gy of HS-WBRT for brain metastases. Three variants of treatment plans (VAR1, VAR2, VAR3) were investigated. Volumetric modulated arc therapy plans with two (2ROT) or three rotations (3ROT) were created for each variant. Plans were compared for compliance with hippocampal sparing criteria,
resultsBest results (highest
conclusionOur new technique achieved both appropriate hippocampal sparing and very high dose conformity of ≥0.9. Significant underdosage outside the hippocampal-sparing area was avoided.
