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

backgroundOnline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiotherapy of cervical cancer has the potential to further reduce dose to organs at risk (OAR) as compared to a library of plans (LOP) approach. This study presents a dosimetric comparison of an MRI-guided strategy with a LOP strategy taking intrafraction anatomical changes into account.

methodsThe 14 patients included in this study were treated with chemo radiation at our institute and received weekly MRIs after informed consent. The MRI-guided strategy consisted of treatment plans created on the weekly sagittal MRI with 3 mm and 5 mm planning target volume (PTV) margin for clinical target volume (CTV) cervix-uterus (MRI_3mm and MRI_5mm). The plans for the LOP strategy were based on interpolations of CTV cervix-uterus on pretreatment full and empty bladder scans. Dose volume histogram (DVH) parameters were compared for targets and OARs as delineated on the weekly transversal MRI, which was acquired on average 10 min after the sagittal MRI.

resultsFor the MRI_5mm strategy D

conclusionsWith online MRI-guided radiotherapy of cervical cancer considerable sparing of OARs can be achieved. If a new treatment plan can be generated and delivered within 10 min, an online MRI-guided strategy with a 5 mm PTV margin for CTV cervix-uterus is sufficient to account for intrafraction anatomical changes.
