A Canadian experience of palliative advanced practice radiation therapy TIPS: Training, implementation, practice and sustainability.
Article in Technical innovations & patient support in radiation oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The concept of the Advanced Practice Radiation Therapist (APRT) was created in 2004, in response to pressures on the radiation treatment sector in Ontario. This led to development, piloting and integration of the Clinical Specialist Radiation Therapist (CSRT) into Ontario's cancer care framework. A national certification process, competency profile and protected title of APRT(T) were established in 2017, under the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT), in collaboration with Cancer Care Ontario/Ontario Health. This report describes the approach to development, validation and measuring impact of the CSRT role in Ontario, specifically in palliative care (pCSRT). It also presents information to assist jurisdictions interested in developing a pCSRT position, describing competency development, assessment, and assumption of practice, and providing some keys to success. This is foundational for consistent expansion of the pCSRT role to other regions to continue to increase system capacity while improving the quality of cancer care.
