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

purposeThis study examines how MRI distortions affect frame-based SRS treatments and assesses the need for clinical distortion corrections.

methodsThe study included 18 patients with 80 total brain targets treated using frame-based radiosurgery. Distortion within patients' MRIs were corrected using Cranial Distortion Correction (CDC) software, which utilizes the patient's CT to alter planning MRIs to reduce inherent intra-cranial distortion. Distortion was evaluated by comparing the original planning target volumes (PTV

resultsPTV

conclusionMRIs used for SRS target delineation exhibit notable geometric distortions that may compromise optimal dosimetric accuracy. A uniform 1 mm expansion may result in geometric misses; however, the CDC algorithm provides a feasible solution for rectifying distortions, thereby enhancing treatment precision.
