Clinical Applications of Magnetic Resonance-Guided Radiotherapy: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) represents a promising new image guidance technology for radiation treatment delivery combining an onboard MRI scanner with radiation delivery technology. By enabling real-time low-field or high-field MRI acquisition, it facilitates improved soft tissue delineation, adaptive treatment, and motion management. Now that MRgRT has been available for nearly a decade, research has shown the technology can be used to effectively shrink treatment margins to either decrease toxicity (in breast, prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer) or facilitate dose-escalation and improved oncologic outcomes (in pancreatic and liver cancer), as well as enabling indications that require clear soft tissue delineation and gating (lung and cardiac ablation). In doing so, the use of MRgRT has the potential to significantly improve the outcomes and quality of life of the patients it treats. The present narrative review aims to describe the rationale for MRgRT, the current and forthcoming state of technology, existing studies, and future directions for the advancement of MRgRT, including associated challenges.
