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

backgroundPreclinical models of radiotherapy (RT) response are vital for the continued success and evolution of RT in the treatment of cancer. The irradiation of tissues in mouse models necessitates high levels of precision and accuracy to recapitulate clinical exposures and limit adverse effects on animal welfare. This requirement has been met by technological advances in preclinical RT platforms established over the past decade. Small animal RT systems use onboard computed tomography (CT) imaging to delineate target volumes and have significantly refined radiobiology experiments with major 3Rs impacts. However, the CT imaging is limited by the differential attenuation of tissues resulting in poor contrast in soft tissues. Clinically, radio-opaque fiducial markers (FMs) are used to establish anatomical reference points during treatment planning to ensure accuracy beam targeting, this approach is yet to translate back preclinical models.
