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

Metal artifacts produce incorrect Hounsfield units and impact treatment planning accuracy. This work evaluates the use of single-energy metal artifact reduction (SEMAR) algorithm for treatment planning by comparison to manual artifact overriding. CT datasets of in-house 3D-printed spine and pelvic phantoms with and without metal insert(s) and two treated patients with metal implants were analysed. CT number accuracy improved with the use of SEMAR filter: root mean square deviation (RMSD) from reference (without metal) reduced by 35.4 in spine and 98.8 in hip. The plan dose volume histograms (DVHs) and dosimetric measurements showed comparable results. SEMAR reconstruction improved planning efficiency.
