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

Purpose This planning study aimed to directly compare the quality and efficiency of treatment planning between dynamic conformal arcs (DCA) and volumetric modulated arcs (VMA) in stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using the high-definition dynamic radiosurgery (HDRS) platform for unresected solitary brain metastases (BMs). Materials and methods All 20 lesions used in a previous study comparing multiple methods for optimizing DCA with the HDRS were reincluded in this study. The main constituents of the HDRS included the 5 mm leaf-width multileaf collimator (MLC) Agility
