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

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a key role to play at multiple steps of the radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning and delivery process. Development of high-precision RT techniques such as intensity-modulated RT, stereotactic ablative RT, and particle beam therapy has enabled oncologists to escalate RT dose to the target while restricting doses to organs at risk (OAR). MRI plays a critical role in target volume delineation in various disease sites, thus ensuring that these high-precision techniques can be safely implemented. Accurate identification of gross disease has also enabled selective dose escalation as a means to widen the therapeutic index. Morphological and functional MRI sequences have also facilitated an understanding of temporal changes in target volumes and OAR during a course of RT, allowing for midtreatment volumetric and biological adaptation. The latest advancement in linear accelerator technology has led to the incorporation of an MRI scanner in the treatment unit. MRI-guided RT provides the opportunity for MRI-only workflow along with online adaptation for either target or OAR or both. MRI plays a key role in post-treatment response evaluation and is an important tool for guiding decision making. In this review, we briefly discuss the RT-related applications of MRI in the management of brain, prostate, and GI malignancies.
