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

The introduction of real-time imaging by magnetic resonance guided linear accelerators (MR-Linacs) enabled adaptive treatments and gating on the tumor position. Different end-to-end tests monitored the accuracy of our MR-Linac during the first year of clinical operation. We report on the stability of these tests covering a static, adaptive and gating workflow. Film measurements showed gamma passing rates of 96.4% ± 3.4% for the static tests (five measurements) and for the two adaptive tests 98.9% and 99.99%, respectively (criterion 2%/2mm). The gated point dose measurements in the breathing phantom were 2.7% lower than in the static phantom.
