Multi-institutional experience treating patients with cardiac devices on a 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance-linear accelerator and workflow development for thoracic treatments.

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
Background and purpose: Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED patients) are often ineligible for online magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT), most likely due to the absence of established guidelines. Existing radiotherapy (RT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidelines offer an opportunity to construct MRgRT protocols, promoting equitable access. Our objective was to present such a workflow, share multi-institutional experiences treating CIED patients with MRgRT on a 1.5 T magnetic resonance-linear accelerator (MR-linac), and investigate geometric accuracy and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for thoracic treatment. Materials and methods: A risk analysis identified strategies for safe MRgRT for CIED patients. At three institutions, 21 pelvic and abdominal patients were treated. Patient records were analyzed for adverse events. Geometric accuracy was investigated using B Results: MRI and RT workflows were adaptable to MRgRT. No adverse events were recorded. B Conclusions: CIED patients can safely undergo treatment on a 1.5 T MR-linac following RT and MRI guidelines. For targets near CIEDs, a B
