The impact of an educational tool in cervix image registration across three imaging modalities.

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
objectivesAccurate image registration is vital in cervical cancer where changes in both planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs) can make decisions regarding image registration complicated. This work aims to determine the impact of a dedicated educational tool compared with experience gained in MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT).
methods10 therapeutic radiographers acted as observers and were split into two groups based on previous experience with MRgRT and Monaco treatment planning system. Three CBCT-CT, three MR-CT and two MR-MR registrations were completed per patient by each observer. Observers recorded translations, time to complete image registration and confidence. Data were collected in two phases; prior to and following the introduction of a cervix registration guide.
resultsNo statistically significant differences were noted between imaging modalities. Each group was assessed independently pre- and post-education, no statistically significant differences were noted in either CBCT-CT or MR-CT imaging. Group 1 MR-MR imaging showed a statistically significant reduction in interobserver variability (
conclusionsAt The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, radiographers consistently registered images across three different imaging modalities regardless of their previous experience. The implementation of an image registration guide had limited impact on inter- and intraobserver variability. Radiographers' confidence showed statistically significant improvements following the use of the registration manual. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This work helps evaluate training methods for novel roles that are developing in MRgRT.
