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 fingerprinting (MRF) is an emerging imaging technique for rapid and simultaneous quantification of multiple tissue properties. The technique has been developed for quantitative imaging of different organs. The obtained quantitative measures have the potential to improve multiple steps of a typical radiotherapy workflow and potentially further improve integration of magnetic resonance imaging guided clinical decision making. In this review paper, we first provide a technical overview of the MRF method from data acquisition to postprocessing, along with recent development in advanced reconstruction methods. We further discuss critical aspects that could influence its usage in radiation therapy, such as accuracy and precision, repeatability and reproducibility, geometric distortion, and motion robustness. Finally, future directions for MRF application in radiation therapy are discussed.
