Applicability and usage of dose mapping/accumulation in radiotherapy.
Review in Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 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
Dose mapping/accumulation (DMA) is a topic in radiotherapy (RT) for years, but has not yet found its widespread way into clinical RT routine. During the ESTRO Physics workshop 2021 on "commissioning and quality assurance of deformable image registration (DIR) for current and future RT applications", we built a working group on DMA from which we present the results of our discussions in this article. Our aim in this manuscript is to shed light on the current situation of DMA in RT and to highlight the issues that hinder consciously integrating it into clinical RT routine. As a first outcome of our discussions, we present a scheme where representative RT use cases are positioned, considering expected anatomical variations and the impact of dose mapping uncertainties on patient safety, which we have named the DMA landscape (DMAL). This tool is useful for future reference when DMA applications get closer to clinical day-to-day use. Secondly, we discussed current challenges, lightly touching on first-order effects (related to the impact of DIR uncertainties in dose mapping), and focusing in detail on second-order effects often dismissed in the current literature (as resampling and interpolation, quality assurance considerations, and radiobiological issues). Finally, we developed recommendations, and guidelines for vendors and users. Our main point include: Strive for context-driven DIR (by considering their impact on clinical decisions/judgements) rather than perfect DIR; be conscious of the limitations of the implemented DIR algorithm; and consider when dose mapping (with properly quantified uncertainties) is a better alternative than no mapping.
