Out-of-field dose assessment for a 1.5 T MR-Linac with optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters.
Article in Medical physics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTo assess the out-of-field surface and internal dose of the 1.5 T MR-Linac compared to the conventional external beam linac using optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLDs), and evaluate the out-of-field dose calculation accuracy of the Monaco treatment planning system (TPS) of the 1.5T MR-Linac.
methodsA cubic solid water phantom, with OSLDs on the surface, was vertically irradiated by MR-Linac square fields with different sizes. In addition, OSLDs were arranged out of the beam edges in four directions. An anthropomorphic adult phantom, with 125 cm
resultsAt different field sizes (5 × 5 to 20 × 20 cm
conclusionsCompared to the conventional linac, MR-Linac has the same out-of-field dose distribution. However, considering the absolute dose values, MR-Linac delivered relatively higher out-of-field doses on both surface and internal OARs. Additional radiation shielding to patients undergoing MR-Linac may provide protection from out-of-field exposure.
