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

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in combination with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided gated delivery represents the latest development in the treatment of abdominothoracic tumours on MR-linac. In contrast, volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is typically used on conventional linacs due to its superior delivery efficiency and speed. Non-inferior VMAT plans were created in a research treatment planning system for eight lung cancer patients previously treated on an MR-linac. VMAT plans were delivered on a moving dosimeter using respiratory multi-leaf collimator (MLC) tracking. VMAT with MLC tracking achieved an average 2%/2 mm local gamma pass rate of 93% relative to planned dose with a delivery efficiency of 83%.
