Impact of spot positional errors in robustly optimized intensity-modulated proton therapy plan of craniospinal irradiation.
Article in Radiological physics and technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We investigated the influence of random spot positioning errors (SPEs) on dosimetric outcomes of robustly optimized intensity-modulated proton therapy (RB-IMPT) plans in craniospinal irradiation (CSI). Six patients with CSI treated using the RB-IMPT technique were selected. An in-house MATLAB code was used to simulate a random SPE of 1 mm in positive, negative, and both directions for 25%, 50%, and 75% of the total spot positions in the nominal plan. The percentage dose variation (ΔD
