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
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): Surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) can track the patient surface noninvasively to complement radiographic image-guided radiation therapy with a standard 3-camera system and a single radiation/image isocenter. Here we report the commissioning of a novel SGRT system that monitors three imaging isocenters locations in a proton half-gantry room with a unique 5-camera configuration. MATERIALS/
methodsThe proton half-gantry room has three image isocenters, designated ISO-0, ISO-1, and ISO-2, to cover various anatomical sites via a robotic ceiling-mounted cone-beam CT. Although ISO-0 and ISO-1 are used to image the cranium, head and neck, and thoracic regions, ISO-2 is often used to image body and extremity sites and contiguous craniospinal target volumes. The five-camera system was calibrated to the radiographic isocenter by using a stereotactic radiosurgery cube phantom for each image isocenter.
resultsThe performance of this 5-camera system was evaluated for 6 degrees of freedom in three categories: (1) absolute setup accuracy relative to the radiographic kV image isocenter based on the DICOM reference; (2) relative shift accuracy based on a reference surface capture; and (3) isocenter tracking accuracy from one isocenter to another based on a reference surface capture. The evaluation revealed maximum deviations of 0.8, 0.2, and 0.6 mm in translation and 0.2°, 0.1°, and 0.1° in rotation for the first, second, and third categories, respectively. Comparing the dosimetry and latency with static and gated irradiation revealed a 0.1% dose difference and positional differences of 0.8 mm in X and 0.9 mm in Y with less than 50 ms temporal accuracy.
conclusionThe unique 5-camera system configuration provides SGRT at the treatment isocenter (ISO-0) and also imaging isocenter locations (ISO-0, ISO-1, and ISO-2) to ensure correct patient positioning before and after radiographic imaging, especially during transitions from the offset imaging isocenters to the treatment isocenter.
