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

Background: In our department, during lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), all patients receive an intra-fractional midpoint cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study aimed to quantify the benefit of adding a second midpoint CBCT over a course of peripheral lung SBRT. Materials and methods: Six-hundred-sixty-four CBCTs from 166 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Treatments were based on the internal target volume (ITV) approach. An isotropic 0.5 cm margin was used to create the planning target volume (PTV) around the ITV. The prescribed dose was 48 Gy in 4 fractions to the PTV. Patients were divided into two groups: patients for whom the 3D-intra-fractional-variation (IFV) was < 0.5 cm (105 patients, low risk group) and patients with at least one 3D-IFV ≥ 0.5 cm (61 patients, high-risk group). Plans simulating the dosimetric impact of the IFV were created as follows: the original 2 arcs (ARC ) were copied into a new plan consisting of 4 times ARC 1 and 4 times ARC 2. The delivery of ARC 1 was always assumed to have occurred with the isocenter initially coordinated, whereas the positions of ARC 2 were modified for each arc by the measured the 3D-IFV. Results: For the PTV, we obtained: D99% (Gy) = 45.2 Conclusion: We demonstrated that a single CBCT is sufficient and reliable to manage the IFV during peripheral lung SBRT.
