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: Daily online adaptive radiation therapy (oART) opens the opportunity to treat gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with a reduced margin. This study reports our early experience of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based daily oART treating gastric MALT lymphoma with breath-hold and reduced margins. Methods and Materials: Ten patients were treated on a CBCT-based oART system. Organs at risk (OARs) and the clinical target volume (CTV) were adjusted based on the daily CBCT. Planning target volume (PTV) was derived from the CTV with a 0.5 to 0.7 cm margin with breath-hold. Multiple beam arrangements were compared during the preplanning phase to ensure minimal monitor unit (MU) for patient comfort and breath-hold reproducibility. For 108 fractions from the 10 patients, the PTV, CTV coverage, and Paddick conformity index (CI) were compared between the adapted and scheduled plans. The MU, Paddick CI, and gradient index were compared using relative percentage differences between the adapted plans and preplans. The OAR doses from 106 fractions across 9 patients were reported for the preplans, adapted plans, and scheduled plans. The time statistics for each step of the clinical workflow were recorded and reported for 93 treatment fractions from 9 patients. Results: The PTV volume varied from -37.1% to 90.5% (11.7% ± 18.5%) throughout treatments across all patients. The adapted plan was chosen as the treatment plan for each fraction because of superior PTV and CTV coverage while maintaining a similar OAR dose. The PTV and CTV coverage for the adapted and scheduled plans was V Conclusion: A CBCT-based oART system with the proposed workflow is feasible for treating patients with gastric MALT lymphoma using a reduced PTV margin while maintaining excellent target coverage within a reasonable time, resulting in consistent adapted plan quality. This approach can be expanded to a larger cohort of gastrointestinal patients.
