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

Purpose: A fully independent, machine learning-based automatic treatment couch parameters prediction was developed to support surface guided radiation therapy (SGRT)-based patient positioning protocols. Additionally, this approach also acts as a quality assurance tool for patient positioning. Materials/Methods: Setup data of 183 patients, divided into four different groups based on used setup devices, was used to calculate the difference between the predicted and the acquired treatment couch value. Results: Couch parameters can be predicted with high precision Conclusion: Couch parameters can be predicted with high accuracy and can be used as starting point for SGRT-based patient positioning. In case of large deviations (>1.5 cm), patient setup has to be verified to optimally use the surface scanning system.
