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/

aimTo develop and evaluate the accuracy of augmented reality (AR)-based patient positioning systems in radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND

methodsAR head-mounted displays (AR-HMDs), which virtually superimpose a three-dimensional (3D) image generated by the digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) data, have been developed. The AR-based positioning feasibility was evaluated. Then, the setup errors of three translational axes directions and rotation angles between the AR and the conventional laser-based positioning were compared.

resultsThe AR-based pelvic phantom positioning was feasible. The setup errors of AR-based positioning were comparable to laser-based positioning in all translational axis directions and rotation angles. The time necessary for AR-based positioning was significantly longer than that for laser-based positioning (171.0 s vs. 47.5 s, p<0.001).

conclusionAR-based positioning for radiotherapy was feasible, and showed comparable positioning errors to those of conventional line-based positioning; however, a markedly longer setup time was necessary.
