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
Patient respiration is characterized by respiratory parameters, such as cycle, amplitude, and baseline drift. In treatment planning using four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) images, the target dose may be affected by variations in image reconstruction techniques and respiratory parameters. This study aimed to optimize 4DCT image reconstruction techniques for the treatment planning of lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) based on respiratory parameters using respiratory motion phantom. We quantified respiratory parameters using 30 respiratory motion datasets. The 4DCT images were acquired, and the phase- and amplitude-based reconstruction images (RI) were created. The target dose was calculated based on these reconstructed images. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) to determine the relationship between respiratory parameters and target dose in each reconstructed technique and respiratory region. In the inhalation region of phase-based RI, r of the target dose and baseline drift was -0.52. In particular, the target dose was significantly reduced for respiratory parameters with a baseline drift of 0.8 mm/s and above. No other respiratory parameters or respiratory regions were significantly correlated with target dose in phase-based RI. In amplitude-based RI, there were no significant differences in the correlation between all respiratory parameters and target dose in the exhalation or inhalation regions. These results showed that the target dose of the amplitude-based RI did not depend on changes in respiratory parameters or respiratory regions, compared to the phase-based RI. However, it is possible to guarantee the target dose by considering respiratory parameters during the inhalation region of the phase-based RI.
