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

Background: A hybrid solitary dynamic portal radiotherapy (h-SDPRT) technique for complex chest-wall and regional nodal irradiation was clinically implemented on the Monaco treatment planning system (TPS) by effectively adapting the Eclipse-based h-SDPRT method with minimal amendments to align with Monaco-specific technical constraints while maintaining consistent and reproducible dosimetric outcomes. Materials and methods: This technique was evaluated on ten left-sided post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) patients, delivering 80-85% of the prescribed dose through asymmetric static open field apertures with the Elekta Agility multileaf collimator (MLC), and the remaining 15-20% via a unidirectional solitary dynamic field with differential blocks, composed of 10-15 MLC control points (4-5% of the dose per segment). Results: The h-SDPRT plans demonstrated excellent dose coverage to the chest-wall target (D Conclusions: The h-SDPRT technique minimizes the risk of "geometrical miss" and reduces delivery uncertainties associated with irregular or thin chest-wall with comprehensive nodal irradiation. By combining dominant static portals with simplified unidirectional dynamic field sequencing strategy, this approach provides a feasible and effective solution for PMRT.
