Comparative Study of Fluence Distribution and Point Dose Using Arc-check and Delta
Article in Journal of medical physics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The study aims to assess the fluence distribution and point dosage between two phantoms for patient-specific quality assurance on the Tomotherapy system. This was a retrospective study conducted on 15 patients who had radiation using the Helical Tomotherapy Machine (Radixact, Accuray Inc.). We used two phantoms to quantify the fluence produced by the treatment planning system (TPS) and recorded from the machine. The ArcCHECK (Sun-Nuclear) has 1386 diodes placed in a cylindrical configuration. The minimal resolution for this was 7 mm. The second was Delta
