On the accuracy of bulk synthetic CT for MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy.

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
purposeMR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) relies on the daily assignment of a relative electron density (RED) map to allow the fraction specific dose calculation. One approach to assign the RED map consists of segmenting the daily magnetic resonance image into five different density levels and assigning a RED bulk value to each level to generate a synthetic CT (sCT). The aim of this study is to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy of this approach for applications in MRgRT.
methodsA planning CT (pCT) was acquired for 26 patients with abdominal and pelvic lesions and segmented in five levels similar to an online approach: air, lung, fat, soft tissue and bone. For each patient, the median RED value was calculated for fat, soft tissue and bone. Two sCTs were generated assigning different bulk values to the segmented levels on pCT: The sCT
resultsGood agreement was found between dose calculated on sCTs and pCT (gamma passing rate 1%/1 mm equal to 91.2% ± 6.9% for sCT
