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

We aimed to assess whether deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) could reduce esophageal dose by spinal stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). In 25 patients with thoracic DIBH CT, the vertebral-esophageal distance significantly increased at T2-T9, greatest at Th7 (median 2.1 mm). Simulated SBRT plans showed a strong correlation between distance and esophageal dose, each 1 mm increase reducing 150 cGy. DIBH reduced the esophageal D
