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

Magnetic Resonance-guided Radiotherapy (MRgRT) allows direct monitoring of treated volumes. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a new gating strategy consisting in using an isodose as boundary. Forty-four patients treated for thoracic and abdominal lesions using MRgRT were enrolled. The accuracy of the new strategy was compared to the conventional one in terms of area improvement available for gating without compromising target coverage. A mean increase of 24% for lung, 15% for liver and 11% for pancreas was observed, demonstrating how the new method can be useful in challenging situations with low dose conformality.
