Functional imaging for radiotherapy treatment planning: current status and future directions-a review.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 recent years, radiotherapy (RT) has been subject to a number of technological innovations. Today, RT is extremely flexible, allowing irradiation of tumours with high doses, whilst also sparing normal tissues from doses. To make use of these additional degrees of freedom, integration of functional image information may play a key role (i) for better staging and tumour detection, (ii) for more accurate RT target volume delineation, (iii) to assess functional information about biological characteristics and individual radiation resistance and (iv) to apply personalized dose prescriptions. In this article, we discuss the current status and future directions of different clinically available functional imaging modalities; CT, MRI, positron emission tomography (PET) as well as the hybrid imaging techniques PET/CT and PET/MRI and their potential for individualized RT.
