An evaluation of the consistency of shifts reported by three different systems for non-coplanar treatments.
Article in Journal of radiosurgery and SBRT, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Treatment of intra-cranial lesions sometimes requires a non-coplanar beam configuration. One of the most commonly used IGRT modalities, kV conebeam CT, cannot typically be used when large couch rotations are introduced. However, multiple other systems allow for imaging/tracking the patient for such situations. This work compares shift consistency from three independent systems, namely Varian's Advanced Imaging, Brainlab's Exactrac and Varian's OSMS, all installed on the same linear accelerator. After a phantom was first positioned using conebeam CT, the three systems were used to determine shifts at different couch positions. This was done with and without intentional shifts inserted in the original phantom position. Results show that the difference in shifts between the three systems was never more than 0.7 mm (average of 0.2 mm, standard deviation of 0.2 mm). These results confirm that all three systems are equivalent to within 1 mm and may potentially be uses interchangeably, especially in cases where the PTV margin is on the order of 1 mm.
