Feasibility and reproducibility of substituting oral contrast with water for duodenal volume delineation in patients undergoing pancreatic stereotactic body radiotherapy.

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
backgroundThis is the first known report evaluating the feasibility of substituting oral contrast with water in efforts to delineate the duodenum for pancreatic stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
methodsFrom January 2015 to August 2016, 13 patients were simulated after ingestion of 8 ounces of water approximately 15-20 min prior to their simulation scan. We examined the feasibility of contouring the duodenum thereafter, and measured the duodenal volume as well as its variation. Comparison was made to 40 patients treated from January 2009 to February 2012 on a prospective trial who used oral contrast. Group comparisons were performed by the Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsThe duodenum was identified in all 13 patients who used water instead of oral contrast without subjective difficulty. In this group, the median duodenal volume was 72.86 cm
conclusionsThis novel approach is effective and reproducible in delineating the duodenum for treatment planning and daily setup.
