Advantages of Radiation Therapy Simulation with 0.35 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Stereotactic Ablation of Spinal Metastases.
Article in Practical radiation oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The hybrid 0.35T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiation therapy system functions in part as a simulation platform for treatment planning. We have found that the images generated are particularly helpful for planning of stereotactic radiation therapy for spinal metastases. Advantages include the following: (1) Low-field MRI mitigates magnetic susceptibility artifacts caused by spinal hardware. (2) Volumetric pulse sequence provides isotropic images for improved target delineation. (3) Wide-bore MRI in the radiation oncology department allows for easy simulation in treatment position for accurate fusion across imaging modalities. (4) When patients are treated on the MRI and radiation therapy hybrid device, adaptive radiation therapy is available for special situations to avoid mobile organs at risk.
