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

In the treatment of single isocenter multiple targets (SIMT) stereotactic cranial cases with linac-based, multi-leaf collimated delivery, one encounters cases when the 50% isodose clouds (IDC50%s) of planning target volumes (PTVs) in close proximity overlap and cannot easily be separated. In such cases, it is difficult to assign an IDC50% to each individual PTV, which is necessary to allow evaluation of individual PTV intermediate dose spill for comparison to established intermediate dose spill metrics for plan quality assessment. The Fair Value Estimate (FVE) for R50% (R50%
