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

purposeTo assess the differences between the target delineation using computed tomography (CT) and imaging fusion CT/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the radiotherapy planning of glioblastoma.

methodsOne hundred-twenty gross tumor volume and clinical target volume on CT and MRI (GTVCT/CTVCT, GTVMRI/CTVMRI, respectively) were contoured and evaluated. The treatments planning (total dose 60 Gy) based on CTVCT were analysed in terms of percentage of CTVCT and CTVMRI receiving 95 % of the prescribed dose (V95-CTVCT, V95-CTVMRI).

resultsGTVs and CTVs contoured on MRI were significantly larger than those delineated on CT (p = 0.0003, p = 0.0006, respectively). Nighty-two percent of CTVCT was coincident with the CTVMRI and 8 % was normal tissue; 20 % of CTVMRI, considered as tumor volume, was not included on CTVCT. The V95-CTVMRI was significantly lower than the V95-CTVCT (p = 0.0005).

conclusionsIn the delineation of glioblastoma target volume, fusion CT/MRI was preferred. The CT only is insufficient for the CTV dose coverage.
