Practical Safety Considerations for Integration of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Radiation Therapy.
Review in Practical radiation oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Interest in integrating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in radiation therapy (RT) practice has increased dramatically in recent years owing to its unique advantages such as excellent soft tissue contrast and capability of measuring biological properties. Continuous real-time imaging for intrafractional motion tracking without ionizing radiation serves as a particularly attractive feature for applications in RT. Despite its many advantages, the integration of MRI in RT workflows is not straightforward, with many unmet needs. MR safety remains one of the key challenges and concerns in the clinical implementation of MR simulators and MR-guided radiation therapy systems in radiation oncology. Most RT staff are not accustomed to working in an environment with a strong magnetic field. There are specific requirements in RT that are different from diagnostic applications. A large variety of implants and devices used in routine RT practice do not have clear MR safety labels. RT-specific imaging pulse sequences focusing on fast acquisition, high spatial integrity, and continuous, real-time acquisition require additional MR safety testing and evaluation. This article provides an overview of MR safety tailored toward RT staff, followed by discussions on specific requirements and challenges associated with MR safety in the RT environment. Strategies and techniques for developing an MR safety program specific to RT are presented and discussed.
