Current status and future prospects of multi-dimensional image-guided particle therapy.
Review in Radiological physics and technology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
In this review article we emphasize the importance of "imaging" and "image guidance" in advanced particle therapy from a clinical point of view. Although the image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) technology used for photon and particle therapy is closely similar, the focus of its application in the two modalities differs. Here, we emphasize the challenges of IGRT for charged particle beams. Radiological Physics and Technology (RTPE) readers interested in the common technologies of IGRT for photons and protons are referred to the plentiful articles already published. Our present deeper insight into IGRT arose through the collaboration of two particle therapy centers, the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) in Japan and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. We believe that international collaboration in rapidly developing fields such as IGRT provides a broad perspective over a wide range of the uses of such technology.
