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

Large Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) datasets are key to support research and the development of machine learning technology in radiotherapy (RT). However, the tools for multi-centre data collection, curation and standardisation are not readily available. Automated batch DICOM export solutions were demonstrated for a multicentre setup. A Python solution, Collaborative DICOM analysis for RT (CORDIAL-RT) was developed for curation, standardisation, and analysis of the collected data. The setup was demonstrated in the DBCG RT-Nation study, where 86% (n = 7748) of treatments in the inclusion period were collected and quality assured, supporting the applicability of the end-to-end framework.
