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

objectiveTo evaluate the impact of the residual setup errors from differently shaped region of interest (ROI) and investigate if surface-guided setup can be used in radiotherapy with concurrent tumor treating fields (TTFields) for glioblastoma.

methodsFifteen patients undergone glioblastoma radiotherapy with concurrent TTFields were involved. Firstly, four shapes of region of interest (ROI) (strip-shaped, T-shaped,

resultsThe algebraic sum of the average residual setup errors in six degrees (mm in translational directions and ° in rotational directions) of the four types were 6.9, 1.1, 4.1 and 3.5 respectively. In terms of the ROI-shape-dependent dosimetry deviations, the D

conclusionSurface-guided setup is feasible in radiotherapy with concurrent TTFields and a medium-sized T-shaped ROI is appropriate for the surface-based guidance.
