The application of metal artifact reduction methods on computed tomography scans for radiotherapy applications: A literature review.
Synthesis in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Metal artifact reduction (MAR) methods are used to reduce artifacts from metals or metal components in computed tomography (CT). In radiotherapy (RT), CT is the most used imaging modality for planning, whose quality is often affected by metal artifacts. The aim of this study is to systematically review the impact of MAR methods on CT Hounsfield Unit values, contouring of regions of interest, and dose calculation for RT applications. This systematic review is performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines; the PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched using the main keywords "metal artifact reduction", "computed tomography" and "radiotherapy". A total of 382 publications were identified, of which 40 (including one review article) met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. The selected publications (except for the review article) were grouped into two main categories: commercial MAR methods and research-based MAR methods. Conclusion: The application of MAR methods on CT scans can improve treatment planning quality in RT. However, none of the investigated or proposed MAR methods was completely satisfactory for RT applications because of limitations such as the introduction of other errors (e.g., other artifacts) or image quality degradation (e.g., blurring), and further research is still necessary to overcome these challenges.
