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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter- and intrafractional organs motions and dosimetric advantages of MRI guided online adaptive radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods: A total of 150 fractions treated on the 1.5 T Unity MR-Linac were included in this study. Each fraction, pre-treatment, position validation and post-treatment MRI scans were obtained. Structures including CTV, rectum and bladder were delineated by the same radiation oncologists on each MRI. The inter- and intrafractional changes of contours were assessed by Hausdorff distance (HD), dice similarity coefficient (DSC), relative volume difference (ΔV) and the relative positions of the geometric center. The non-ART plans and online adaptive plans were obtained by recalculating or re-optimizing from reference plans on daily MRI, respectively. CTV coverage and OARs constraints were evaluated between ART and non-ART plans. Results: For each fraction, the interfractional changes of HD, ΔV and DSC for CTV, bladder and rectum were significant. Our study also examined the relationship of bladder and rectum filling on CTV position. For 150 non-ART plans, CTV coverage constraints (D Conclusions: Considerable inter- and intrafractional CTV and OARs changes were observed in cervical cancer patients treated on MR-Linac. MRI guided online ART has significant dosimetric advantages in cervical cancer and is an ideal approach for achieving individualized and precise radiotherapy.
