Small-field dosimetry of TrueBeam
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeDetector-dependent interinstitutional variations of the beam data may lead to uncertainties of the delivered dose to patients. Here we evaluated the inter-unit variability of the flattened and flattening filter-free (FFF) beam data of multiple TrueBeam (Varian Medical Systems) linear accelerators focusing on the small-field dosimetry.
methodsThe beam data of 6- and 10-MV photon beams with and without flattening filter measured for modeling of an iPLAN treatment planning system (BrainLAB) were collected from 12 institutions - ten HD120 Multileaf Collimator (MLC) and two Millennium120 MLC. Percent-depth dose (PDD), off-center ratio (OCR), and detector output factors (OF
resultsPDD measured with a field size of 5 × 5 mm
conclusionIn this study, the inter-unit variability of small-field dosimetry was evaluated for TrueBeam linear accelerators. The variations were large at a field size of 5 × 5 mm
