Accuracy and efficiency of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for preoperative partial breast radiosurgery.
Article in Journal of radiosurgery and SBRT, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo analyze and evaluate accuracy and efficiency of IGRT process for preoperative partial breast radiosurgery.
methodsPatients were initially setup with skin marks and 5 steps were performed: (1) Initial orthogonal 2D kV images, (2) pre-treatment 3D CBCT images, (3) verification orthogonal 2D kV images, (4) treatment including mid-treatment 2D kV images (for the final 15 patients only), and (5) post-treatment orthogonal 2D kV or 3D CBCT images. Patient position was corrected at each step to align the biopsy clip and to verify surrounding soft tissue positioning.
resultsThe mean combined vector magnitude shifts and standard deviations at the 5 imaging steps were (1) 0.96 ± 0.69, (2) 0.33 ± 0.40, (3) 0.05 ± 0.12, (4) 0.15 ± 0.17, and (5) 0.27 ± 0.24 in cm. The mean total IGRT time was 40.2 ± 13.2 minutes. Each step was shortened by 2 to 5 minutes with improvements implemented. Overall, improvements in the IGRT process reduced the mean total IGRT time by approximately 20 minutes. Clip visibility was improved by implementing oblique orthogonal images.
conclusionMultiple imaging steps confirmed accurate patient positioning. Appropriate planning and imaging strategies improved the effectiveness and efficiency of the IGRT process for preoperative partial breast radiosurgery.
