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 and purpose: To compare how intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) affect circulating blood cells (CBC) depletion in glioma patients. Materials and methods: Twenty-eight glioma patients were retrospectively analyzed. Mean clinical target volume (CTV) was 293.8 ± 152.4 cm Results: After one fraction, mean V Conclusions: IMRT and VMAT produced different blood dose distributions. However, the mean depletion difference was small relative to estimated intersubject variability and does not establish a clinically meaningful advantage for either technique.
