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

clinical/methodical issueOptimizing radiotherapy demands precise delineation of the target structure, not only before but also during the course of radiotherapy. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL

methodsFor many years, planning of external radiation treatment planning has been based on computer tomography data. METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS: With the advent of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional hybrid imaging are increasingly being integrated into radiation treatment planning. The development of the MR-linac can be seen as an innovation. PERFORMANCE: The integration of MRI and hybrid imaging (positron emission tomography [PET]/CT, PET/MRI) in the treatment planning process enables more precise treatment planning due to the better morphological and functional information. The integration of MRI data on the MR-linac in daily position control enables adaptation of the irradiation plan to the current conditions. ACHIEVEMENTS: Technical innovation such as the MR-linac as well as increasing use of hybrid imaging contribute to the objective of further individualization within (radio)oncology. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Using the example of prostate cancer, the application of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligands and hybrid imaging offers great potential for individualized strategic treatment decisions. The MR-linac appears to be particularly suitable for radiation therapy of prostate cancer. Special attention must be paid to the technical aspects of positioning and data acquisition for the purpose of radiation treatment planning.
