Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the role of CBCT in rectal cancer radiotherapy.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Verifying patients' position and internal anatomical changes are important steps in the radiotherapy of rectal cancer. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging method that allows for the quantification of these modifications, ensuring the delivery of radiation dose to the tumor volume, while protecting surrounding organs at risk. The aim of this review is to discuss and analyze the benefits offered by this method of imaging on board the linear accelerator. In view of this, a systematic search of the scientific literature in the Medline/PubMed database was performed for publications over the last decade, with 20 articles found to be relevant for this study. To highlight the benefits of this imaging technique in rectal cancer, the frequency of CBCT use, identification of tumor volume and organs at risk on CBCT images, quantification of the movement of these organs and tumor volume, analysis of positioning errors as well as evaluation of dosimetric parameters were analyzed.
