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

Background and purpose: This study focuses on evaluating a sub-fractionation workflow for intrafraction motion mitigation of prostate cancer patients on a 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging radiotherapy system. Materials and methods: The investigated workflow consisted of two sub-fractions where intrafraction drift correction steps were applied based on a daily reference plan. However, the daily contours were only rigidly shifted to match the intrafraction anatomies and therefore the clinical dosimetric constraints might be violated. In this work, daily contours were deformed to match the intrafraction anatomies and the online plans were re-calculated for a total of 15 patients. The deformed prostate contours were inspected by radiation oncologists and corrections were performed when necessary. Finally, a dose-volume parameter evaluation was performed on a sub-fraction level using the clinical plan parameters. Results: Clinically acceptable coverage was reported for the target structures resulting in mean V Conclusion: Given our results on the CTV coverage we can conclude that the sub-fractionation workflow met the dosimetric constraints for the hypofractionated treatment of the analyzed group of prostate cancer patients. A future dose accumulation study can provide further insights into the suitability of the clinical margins.
