Effect of Whole-Brain Radiotherapy Dose on the Occurrence of Otitis Media and Mastoiditis in Patients With Lung Cancer With Brain Metastasis.

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
This study aims to investigate the incidence of acute mastoiditis in patients with brain metastases undergoing whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT). A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with brain metastases who received different doses of WBRT. The incidence of acute mastoiditis within 6 months post-radiotherapy was observed. Patients were divided into four groups based on the radiation dose: 25, 30, 36 and 40 Gy. The incidence of mastoiditis in each group was statistically analyzed. A total of 209 patients were followed up, with no cases lost to follow-up, and the follow-up time was 6 months. The results showed that the number of patients with middle ear mastoiditis was 6 (24%) in group A, 101 (67%) in group B, 12 (80%) in group C and 15 (83%) in group D, and there was a statistically significant difference between the four groups (χ
