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: Proton arc therapy (PAT) is an emerging modality delivering continuously rotating proton beams. Current PAT planning approaches are time-consuming, making them unsuitable for online adaptation. This study proposes an accelerated workflow for adapting PAT plans. Materials and Methods: The proposed workflow transfers spots from initial computed tomography (CT) to the CT of the day, updates energy layers considering the initial pattern, and re-optimizes selected transferred spots based on their initial weights and impact on the objective function.A retrospective study was conducted on five head and neck patients who underwent plan adaptation on a repeated CT. PAT plans were generated with two different methods on the repeated CT: Results: Conclusions:
