Evaluation of plan quality in radiotherapy planning with an MR-linac.
Article in Physics and imaging in radiation oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Clinical introduction of magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiotherapy involves treatment planning while taking into account machine-specific characteristics. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of high-quality MR-linac treatment planning for an MR-linac and to benchmark MR-linac plan quality (IMRT) against current clinical practice (VMAT). MATERIALS &
methodsData of eight rectal and eight prostate cancer patients, who received radiotherapy on a conventional CBCT-integrated linac, were selected. Clinically acquired CTs and associated delineations of target volumes and organs-at-risk (OARs) were used for MR-linac treatment planning in Monaco. To investigate treatment planning software bias 'quasi MR-linac plans' were generated in Pinnacle
resultsCompared to clinical plans, MR-linac plans showed a statistically significant decrease in plan homogeneity, an increase in PTV D
conclusionsThis study demonstrates the feasibility of creating high-quality MR-linac treatment plans. The results supported the clinical introduction of an MR-linac.
