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

purposeThe accuracy of the CyberKnife Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System is dependent on the breathing pattern of a patient. Therefore, the tracking error in each patient must be determined. Support vector regression (SVR) can be used to easily identify the tracking error in each patient. This study aimed to develop a system with SVR that can predict tracking error according to a patient's respiratory waveform.

methodsDatasets of the respiratory waveforms of 93 patients were obtained. The feature variables were variation in respiration amplitude, tumor velocity, and phase shift between tumor and the chest wall, and the target variable was tracking error. A learning model was evaluated with tenfold cross-validation. We documented the difference between the predicted and actual tracking errors and assessed the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination.

resultsThe average difference and maximum difference between the actual and predicted tracking errors were 0.57 ± 0.63 mm and 2.1 mm, respectively. The correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination were 0.86 and 0.74, respectively.

conclusionWe developed a system for obtaining tracking error by using SVR. The accuracy of such a system is clinically useful. Moreover, the system can easily evaluate tracking error. We developed a system that can be used to predict the tracking error of SRTS in the CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System using machine learning. The feature variables were the breathing parameters, and the target variable was the tracking error. We used support vector regression algorithm.
