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

introductionOptical three-dimensional scanning devices can produce geometrically accurate, high-resolution models of patients suitable for clinical use. This article describes the use of a metrology-grade structured light scanner for the design and production of radiotherapy medical devices and synthetic water-equivalent computer tomography images.

methodsFollowing commissioning of the device by scanning objects of known properties, 173 scans were performed on 26 volunteers, with observations of subjects and operators collected.

resultsThe fit of devices produced using these scans was assessed, and a workflow for the design of complex devices using a treatment planning system was identified.

conclusionsRecommendations are provided on the use of the device within a radiation oncology department.
