Proposal and Evaluation of a Physician-Free, Real-Time On-Table Adaptive Radiotherapy (PF-ROAR) Workflow for the MRIdian MR-Guided LINAC.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
With the implementation of MR-LINACs, real-time adaptive radiotherapy has become a possibility within the clinic. However, the process of adapting a patient's plan is time consuming and often requires input from the entire clinical team, which translates to decreased throughput and limited patient access. In this study, the authors propose and simulate a workflow to address these inefficiencies in staffing and patient throughput. Two physicians, three radiation therapists (RTT), and a research fellow each adapted bladder and bowel contours for 20 fractions from 10 representative patient plans. Contouring ability was compared via calculation of a Dice Similarity Index (DSI). The DSI for bladder and bowel based on each potential physician-therapist pair, as well as an inter-physician comparison, exhibited good overlap amongst all comparisons (
