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

Image guidance has been playing a decisive role throughout the history of radiotherapy, but developments in 3D-and 4D imaging data acquisition using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) have significantly boosted the precision of conformal radiotherapy. An overarching aim of radiotherapy is conforming the treatment dose to the tumor in order to optimally limit a high radiation dose outside the target. Stereotactic, intensity modulated, and adaptive radiotherapy are all largely based on appropriately using imaging information both before and during treatment delivery using on-board imaging devices. While pretreatment imaging for planning has reached a very high level in the past two decades, the next step will be to further refine and accelerate imaging during treatment delivery, resulting in adaptation of the dose fluence during a patient's treatment in various scenarios, some of which are discussed in this article.
