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 compare the dose calculation accuracy of plans done on a CT density-assigned MR image set for hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) using volumetric modulated radiation therapy containing non-coplanar beams.

methodsEighteen patients diagnosed with schwannoma treated with HSRT were selected retrospectively. These patients underwent planning CT (pCT) for radiation therapy (RT) and contrast-enhanced three-dimensional fast-spoiled gradient-echo image (3D FSPGR) to assist tumor delineation. CT

resultsThe mean deviations of D

conclusionResults show that there is no difference between plans generated with actual CT data and MRCT data. Thus MR scans could be employed for radiation planning provided the verification image is available. This gives us confidence to reduce treatment margins where image registration process is avoided.
