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

Background and purpose: Hypoxia in tumors significantly contributes to radiation resistance, often leading to poor treatment outcomes. Material and methods: Subcutaneously transplanted Dunning R3327-HI rat prostate carcinomas were irradiated with varying single doses of protons under oxic or hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia was induced by clamping the tumor-supplying vessels. The biological endpoint was local tumor control assessed 300 days after irradiation. Dose-response curves were determined and based on the doses required for 50 % tumor control probability (TCD Results: The TCD Conclusion: Proton irradiations showed a 5 % reduction in OER compared to the previously measured photon value of 1.53 ± 0.08, suggesting a slightly higher effectiveness of protons in hypoxic tumors as compared to photons.
