Selection of motion management in liver stereotactic body radiotherapy and its impact on treatment time.
Article in Physics and imaging in radiation oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
Background and purpose: Reduction of respiratory tumour motion is important in liver stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to reduce side effects and improve tumour control probability. We have assessed the distribution of use of voluntary exhale breath hold (EBH), abdominal compression (AC), free breathing gating (gating) and free breathing (FB), and the impact of these on treatment time. Materials and Methods: We assessed all patients treated in a single institution with liver SBRT between September 2017 and September 2021. Data from pre-simulation motion management assessment using fluoroscopic assessment of liver dome position in repeat breath holds, and motion with and without AC, was reviewed to determine liver dome position consistency in EBH and the impact of AC on motion. Treatment time was assessed for all fractions as time from first image acquisition to last treatment beam off. Results: Of 136 patients treated with 145 courses of liver SBRT, 68 % were treated in EBH, 20 % with AC, 7 % in gating and 5 % in FB. AC resulted in motion reduction < 1 mm in 9/26 patients assessed. Median treatment time was higher using EBH (39 min) or gating (42 min) compared with AC (30 min) or FB (24 min) treatments. Conclusions: Motion management in liver SBRT needs to be assessed per-patient to ensure appropriate techniques are applied. Motion management significantly impacts treatment time therefore patient comfort must also be taken into account when selecting the technique for each patient.
