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

purposeThis observer study aimed to compare rigid image registration (RIR) with deformable image registration (DIR) for diagnostic position (DP) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images in the delineation of gross tumor volumes (GTVs) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy planning. MATERIALS AND

methodsFour radiation oncologists individually delineated the GTVs, GTV

resultsThe average DSCs for GTV

conclusionRIR was a feasible choice compared with the B-spline-based DIR in GTV delineation for NPC under variations of neck flexion angle.
