Pathway for radiation therapists online advanced adapter training and credentialing.
Article in Technical innovations & patient support in radiation oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) is an emerging advanced treatment option for cancer patients worldwide. Current oART practices using magnetic resonance (MR) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) based imaging are resource intensive and require physician presence, which is a barrier to widespread implementation. Global evidence demonstrates Radiation Therapists (RTTs) can lead the oART workflow with decision support tools and on 'on-call' caveats in a 'clinician-lite' approach without significantly compromising on treatment accuracy, speed or patient outcomes. With careful consideration of jurisdictional regulations and guidance from the multi-disciplinary team, RTTs can elevate beyond traditional scopes of practice. By implementing robust and evidence-based credentialing activities, they enable service sustainability and expand the real-world gains of adaptive radiotherapy to a greater number of cancer patients worldwide. This work summarises the evidence for RTT-led oART treatments and proposes a pathway for training and credentialing.
