Benefits and considerations in using a novel computed tomography system optimized for radiotherapy planning.
Article in Physics and imaging in radiation oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this study, we evaluated a novel 16-bit computed tomography (CT) system optimized for radiotherapy planning. Over six months, using various protocols, we conducted 616 scans, with an average of four CT series per session imported into our treatment planning software (TPS). The direct density (DD) reconstruction enabled a single CT number calibration curve for multiple tube voltages. Metal artifacts could be effectively reduced. The 16-bit character permitted dose calculation in high-density regions, while TPS integration challenges remained. In conclusion, our findings emphasize the system's potential benefits and considerations in radiotherapy workflows.
