Portal dosimetry in radiotherapy repeatability evaluation.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The accuracy of radiotherapy is the subject of continuous discussion, and dosimetry methods, particularly in dynamic techniques, are being developed. At the same time, many oncology centers develop quality procedures, including pretreatment and online dose verification and proper patient tracking methods. This work aims to present the possibility of using portal dosimetry in the assessment of radiotherapy repeatability. The analysis was conducted on 74 cases treated with dynamic techniques. Transit dosimetry was made for each collision-free radiation beam. It allowed the comparison of summary fluence maps, obtained for fractions with the corresponding summary maps from all other treatment fractions. For evaluation of the compatibility in the fluence map pairs (6798), the gamma coefficient was calculated. The results were considered in four groups, depending on the used radiotherapy technique: stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy, breath-hold, free-breathing, and conventionally fractionated other cases.
