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

This study evaluated unexpected dosimetric errors caused by machine control accuracy, patient setup errors, and patient weight changes/internal organ deformations. Trajectory log files for 13 gynecologic plans with seven- or nine-beam dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC) intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), and differences between expected and actual MLC positions and MUs were evaluated. Effects of patient setup errors on dosimetry were estimated by in-house software. To simulate residual patient setup errors after image-guided patient repositioning, planned dose distributions were recalculated (blurred dose) after the positions were randomly moved in three dimensions 0-2 mm (translation) and 0°-2° (rotation) 28 times per patient. Differences between planned and blurred doses in the clinical target volume (CTV) D
