MRI basics for radiation oncologists.
Review in Clinical and translational radiation oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
MRI is increasingly used in radiation oncology to facilitate tumor and organ-at-risk delineation and image guidance. In this review, we address issues of MRI that are relevant for radiation oncologists when interpreting MR images offered for radiotherapy. Whether MRI is used in combination with CT or in an MRI-only workflow, it is generally necessary to ensure that MR images are acquired in treatment position, using the positioning and fixation devices that are commonly applied in radiotherapy. For target delineation, often a series of separate image sets are used with distinct image contrasts, acquired within a single exam. MR images can suffer from image distortions. While this can be avoided with dedicated scan protocols, in a diagnostic setting geometrical fidelity is less relevant and is therefore less accounted for. Since geometrical fidelity is of utmost importance in radiation oncology, it requires dedicated scan protocols. The strong magnetic field of an MRI scanner and the use of radiofrequency radiation can cause safety hazards if not properly addressed. Safety screening is crucial for every patient and every operator prior to entering the MRI room.
