Technical evaluation of the cone-beam computed tomography imaging performance of a novel, mobile, gantry-based X-ray system for brachytherapy.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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.
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
purposeA novel, mobile cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system for image-guided adaptive brachytherapy was recently deployed at our hospital as worldwide first site. Prior to the device's clinical operation, a profound characterization of its imaging performance was conducted. This was essential to optimize both the imaging workflow and image quality for achieving the best possible clinical outcomes. We present the results of our investigations.
methodsThe novel CBCT-system features a ring gantry with 121 cm clearance as well as a 43.2 × 43.2 cm
resultsUsing the in-house protocols, the QA phantom scans showed altogether a high image quality, with high CT-number accuracy (R
conclusionWith the novel CBCT-system, achieving a high image quality appears possible in principle. However, adaptations of the standard protocols, performance enhancements in image reconstruction referring to artifact reductions, as well as the extinction of geometric instabilities are imperative.
