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

BACKGROUND AND

aimComputational complexities encountered in craniospinal irradiation (CSI) have been widely investigated with different planning strategies. However, localization of the entire craniospinal axis (CSA) and evaluation of adaptive treatment plans have traditionally been ignored in CSI treatment. In this study, a new strategy for CSI with comprehensive CSA localization and adaptive plan evaluation has been demonstrated using cone beam CT with extended longitudinal field-of-view (CBCT MATERIALS AND

methodsMulti-scan CBCT images were acquired with fixed longitudinal table translations (with 1 cm cone-beam overlap) and then fused into a single DICOM-set using the custom software coded in MatLab™. A novel approach for validation of CBCT

resultsThe fused CBCT

conclusionOur protocol serves as a guide for precise localization of entire CSA and to ensure adequate dose to the large and complex targets. It can also be adapted for other complex treatment techniques such as total-marrow-irradiation and total-lymphoid-irradiation.
