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

Favorable clinical outcomes of carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) for ventricular arrhythmia have been reported, and optimal treatment strategies are being explored. We assessed the robustness of CIRT plans against cardiac motion in ventricular tachycardia. Electrocardiographic (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) images at end-diastole and end-systole were used for planning, and dose distributions were recalculated on the opposite phase to evaluate dosimetric changes. Cardiac motion reduced target coverage by about 13.8-19.0%, whereas a 5-mm margin or robust optimization reduced the decrease approximately to 5%. An optimization approach that accounts for cardiac motion using ECG-gated CT provided a favorable balance for clinical application.
