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

background and purposeRecent studies have shown that the use of magnetic resonance (MR) guided online plan adaptation yields beneficial dosimetric values and reduces unplanned violations of the dose constraints for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of lymph node oligometastases. The purpose of this R-IDEAL stage 0 study was to determine the optimal plan adaptation approach for MR-guided SBRT treatment of lymph node oligometastases. MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) and repeated MR data from five patients with in total 17 pathological lymph nodes, six different methods of plan adaptation were performed on the daily MRI and contours. To determine the optimal plan adaptation approach for treatment of lymph node oligometastases, the adapted plans were evaluated using clinical dose criteria and the time required for performing the plan adaptation.

resultsThe average time needed for the different plan adaptation methods ranged between 11 and 119 s. More advanced adaptation methods resulted in more plans that met the clinical dose criteria [range, 0-16 out of 17 plans]. The results show a large difference between target coverage achieved by the different plan adaptation methods.

conclusionResults suggested that multiple plan adaptation methods, based on plan adaptation on the daily anatomy, were feasible for MR-guided SBRT treatment of lymph node oligometastases. The most advanced method, in which a full online replanning was performed by segment shape and weight optimization after fluence optimization, yielded the most favourable dosimetric values and could be performed within a time-frame acceptable (<5 min) for MR-guided treatment.
