Comparison between free breathing and deep inspiration breath hold in left-sided breast cancer treatment.

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: This study aimed to compare the treatment plan between free breathing (FB) and deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) in patients with left-sided breast cancer. We aimed to investigate the dose to the heart and left lung. Materials and methods: Fifty-five patients with left-sided breast cancer treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy were retrospectively compared with those planned with FB and DIBH in terms of doses to the heart and left lung. The prescribed dose was 42.56 Gy which was delivered in 16 fractions. Results: Compared with FB, DIBH effectively reduced the mean dose to the heart by an average of 55% (2.0 Gy Conclusion: DIBH is an effective treatment technique for reducing the dose to the heart and the relative irradiated left lung volume for left-sided breast cancer, although the absolute irradiated left lung volume is increased.
