Article in Biomedical optics express, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Recent development of radiotherapy (RT) has heightened the use of radiation in managing pancreatic cancer. Thus, there is a need to investigate pancreatic cancer in a pre-clinical setting to advance our understanding of the role of RT. Widely-used cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging cannot provide sufficient soft tissue contrast to guide irradiation. The pancreas is also prone to motion. Large collimation is unavoidably used for irradiation, costing normal tissue toxicity. We innovated a bioluminescence tomography (BLT)-guided system to address these needs. We established an orthotopic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) mouse model to access BLT. Mice underwent multi-projection and multi-spectral bioluminescence imaging (BLI), followed by CBCT imaging in an animal irradiator for BLT reconstruction and radiation planning. With optimized absorption coefficients, BLT localized PDAC at 1.25 ± 0.19 mm accuracy. To account for BLT localization uncertainties, we expanded the BLT-reconstructed volume with margin to form planning target volume(PTV
