Clinical feasibility of a commercially available MRI-only method for radiotherapy treatment planning of the brain.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAdvancements in deep-learning based synthetic computed tomography (sCT) image conversion methods have enabled the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only based radiotherapy treatment planning (RTP) of the brain. PURPOSE: This study evaluates the clinical feasibility of a commercial, deep-learning based MRI-only RTP method with respect to dose calculation and patient positioning verification performance in RTP of the brain.
methodsClinical validation of dose calculation accuracy was performed by a retrospective evaluation for 25 glioma and 25 brain metastasis patients. Dosimetric and image quality of the studied MRI-only RTP method was evaluated by a direct comparison of the sCT-based and computed tomography (CT)-based external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) images and treatment plans. Patient positioning verification accuracy of sCT images was evaluated retrospectively for 10 glioma and 10 brain metastasis patients based on clinical cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.
resultsAn average mean dose difference of D
conclusionsIn terms of dose calculation and patient positioning accuracy, the studied MRI-only method demonstrated its clinical feasibility for RTP of the brain. The results encourage the use of the studied method as part of a routine clinical workflow.
