Methodology of thermal drift measurements for surface guided radiation therapy systems and clinical impact assessment illustrated on the C-Rad Catalyst
Article in Technical innovations & patient support in radiation oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Thermal drift of optical systems employed for surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT) adds uncertainty to patient setup and monitoring. This work describes methods to measure the drift of individual camera pods as well as the drift of the combined clinical signal. It presents results for four clinical C-Rad Catalyst
