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

This issue of Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences includes two papers presenting different uses of magnetic resonance (MR) in radiation therapy (RT). With the advancement of MR-simulators and Magnetic resonance linear accelerators (MRL), in addition to the use of diagnostic MR becoming more common place in the radiotherapy setting, there are a number of challenges to be considered. In this article, we present the perspectives of radiation therapists and medical physicists involved in the commissioning of an MRL in our centre. Image shows in-house 3D printed supports mounted on the vendor-supplied QA platform. The supports locate an array so that it is centred in the radiation field.
