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

ICRU 91, published in 2017, is an international standard for prescribing, recording, and reporting stereotactic treatments. Since its release, there has been limited research published on the implementation and impact of ICRU 91 on clinical practice. This work provides an assessment of the recommended ICRU 91 dose reporting metrics for their use in clinical treatment planning. A set of 180 intracranial stereotactic treatment plans for patients treated by the CyberKnife (CK) system were analyzed retrospectively using the ICRU 91 reporting metrics. The 180 plans comprised 60 trigeminal neuralgia (TGN), 60 meningioma (MEN), and 60 acoustic neuroma (AN) cases. The reporting metrics included the planning target volume (PTV) near-minimum dose (
