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

Objective The objective of the study is to discern any factors that may be predictive of patient-specific uncertainty related to residual error after cone-beam CT (CBCT) correction and motion measured by the high-definition motion management (HDMM) system. Methods HDMM treatment logs were parsed via a Python 3 script and then analyzed for 30 patients. Additionally, CBCT registration and correction data was also collected and analyzed for the same 30 patients. Correlation analysis was then performed against various patient- and treatment-related factors to discern any potentially predictive factors. Results BMI was the only statistically significant predictor identified in this study with an r value of 0.393, p=0.032. Despite being identified as a predictor in other studies, treatment time, when treated as a continuous variable, did not show up as significant in this work. Conclusion BMI may be predictive of patients who might require extra tactics to mitigate motion during frameless Gamma Knife® treatment.
