The impact of the three degrees-of-freedom fiducial marker-based setup compared to soft tissue-based setup in hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeWe evaluated the setup accuracy of a three-degree-of-freedom fiducial marker (3DOF-FM)-based setup compared to a soft tissue (ST)-based setup in hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe analyzed the setup accuracy for 17 consecutive prostate cancer patients with three implanted FMs who underwent hypofractionated IMRT. The 3DOF-ST-based setup using cone-beam computed tomography (CT) was performed after a six DOF-bony structure (BS)-based setup using an ExacTrac x-ray system. The 3DOF-FM-based matching using the ExacTrac x-ray system was done during the BS- and ST-based setups. We determined the mean absolute differences and the correlation between the FM- and ST-based translational shifts relative to the BS-based setup position. The rotational mean shifts detected by the ExacTrac x-ray system were also evaluated.
resultsThe mean differences in the anterior-posterior (AP), superior-inferior (SI), and left-right (LR) dimensions were 0.69, 0.0, and 0.30 mm, respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficients for both shifts were 0.92 for AP, 0.91 for SI, and 0.68 for LR. The percentages of shift agreements within 2 mm were 85% for AP, 93% for SI, and 99% for LR. The absolute values of rotational shifts were 0.1° for AP, 0.3°, and 1.2° for LR.
conclusionsThe setup accuracy of the 3DOF-FM-based setup has the potential to be interchangeable with a ST-based setup. Our data are likely to be useful in clinical practice along with the popularization of the hypofractionated IMRT in prostate cancer.
