The factors of fiducial marker motions and individual margin assessment in postoperative breast cancer radiotherapy.

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: As a surrogate for the breast tumor bed, individual fiducial markers frequently move during radiotherapy. This study aimed to classify the motions and calculate the individualized target margin. Methods: The mammary basal diameters (D) and heights (H) were measured to represent breast sizes for 15 patients after breast-conserving surgery. The clinical target volume (CTV) was divided into 4 quadrants by a coordinate system with the center of mass of the tumor bed as the origin. The lateral, anteroposterior, and craniocaudal motions of markers were calculated (M Results: In the first quadrant, M Conclusions: Fiducial motion is susceptible to breast size and fiducial position, and the individualized PTV margins should take the above factors into account.
