Dosimetric Comparison of Various Radiotherapy Planning Techniques in Postmastectomy Breast Cancer Patients.
Article in Journal of medical physics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females worldwide. Radiation therapy has occupied a very important role in the treatment of women with breast cancer in early as well as in advanced stage. Various modern states of art radiotherapy techniques are being used for the treatment of breast cancer. Objectives: The main objective of the study was to compare three different radiotherapy treatment planning techniques, namely three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), field-in-field forward planned intensity modulated radiotherapy (FIF-FP-IMRT), and inversely planned IMRT (IP-IMRT) in terms of various dosimetric parameters. Materials and Methods: The present study involved 150 postmastectomy breast cancer patients. Treatment plans with three different planning techniques were generated for each patient and were compared for various dosimetric parameters of tumor and normal structures. Results: Statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed for most of the dosimetric parameters on comparing three planning techniques. Conclusion: Most of the parameters were found in favor of IP-IMRT. FIF-FP-IMRT and IP-IMRT has been found better than 3DCRT.
