Dosimetric comparison between biaxially rotational dynamic radiation therapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

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: Radiotherapy device (OXRAY) using an O-ring-type linear accelerator system was developed in Japan. In this study, we aimed to compare dose distributions using biaxially rotational dynamic radiation therapy (BROAD-RT) with the OXRAY system and conventional coplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). Methods: Ten patients with LA-NSCLC who received radiotherapy (60 Gy in 30 fractions) at the National Cancer Center Hospital East were selected for this study. Dose distributions in the planning target volume (PTV), lungs, heart, left anterior descending coronary artery region (LADR), and oesophagus were compared using two novel virtual plans (BROAD-RT and VMAT). Both plans were analysed using paired Results: The mean [standard deviation (SD)] of Lungs-V20 (%) and Lungs-V5 (%) values were 21.64 (5.15) and 54.67 (9.95) for BROAD-RT and 26.76 (5.80) and 59.97 (12.40) for VMAT, respectively. Lungs-V20 was significantly improved with BROAD-RT compared with that with VMAT (P=0.001), while Lungs-V5 was not (P=0.10). The dose-volume parameters for the heart (Heart-V40), LADR (LADR-V15), and oesophagus (Oesophagus-V50 and Oesophagus-V60) were also significantly improved in BROAD-RT compared with those in VMAT (P=0.009, 0.006, 0.006, and 0.005, respectively) without worsening the PTV dose coverage. However, the mean (SD) of Lungs-V1 (%) value, which indicates the extent of very low-dose distribution, was 97.38 (3.98) for BROAD-RT and 90.84 (10.00) for VMAT. Lungs-V1 was significantly worse with BROAD-RT compared with that with VMAT (P=0.01). Conclusions: BROAD-RT improved key metrics of dose-volume parameters of the lungs, heart, LADR, and oesophagus in patients with LA-NSCLC. However, it resulted in an increased volume of lung tissue irradiated with very low doses, such as in Lungs-V1.
