Feasibility of simulation free abdominal stereotactic adaptive radiotherapy using an expedited pre-plan workflow.
Article in Physics and imaging in radiation oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Background and Purpose: Improved hounsfield-unit accuracy of on-board imaging may lead to direct-to-unit treatment approaches We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of using only a diagnostic (dx) computed tomography (CT)-defined target pre-plan in an Materials and Methods: Eight patients with abdominal treatment sites (five pancreatic cancer, three oligometastases) were treated using an integrated adaptive O-Ring gantry system. Each patient's target was delineated on a dxCT. The target only pre-plan served primarily to seed the ART process. During the ART session, all structures were delineated. All simulated cases were treated to 50 Gy in 5 fractions to a planning target optimization structure (PTV_OPT) to allow for dose escalation within the planning target volume. Timing of steps during this workflow was recorded. Plan quality was compared between ART treatment plans and a plan created on a CT simulation scan using the traditional planning workflow. Results: The workflow was feasible in all attempts, with organ-at-risk (OAR) constraints met in all fractions despite lack of initial OAR contours. Median absolute difference between the adapted plan and simulation CT plan for the PTV_Opt V95% was 2.0 %. Median absolute difference in the D0.5 cm Conclusion: The workflow was feasible for a dxCT-defined target-only pre-plan approach to stereotactic abdominal ART.
