Multi-institutional study on image quality for a novel CBCT solution on O-ring linac.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionThis work presents a multi-institutional study on image quality provided by a novel cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The main goal is to investigate the consistency of imaging performance across multiple institutions.
methodsPhantoms for measuring relative electron density (RED) and image quality were sent to six institutions for imaging on Ethos and Halcyon units equipped with HyperSight CBCT. The imaging protocols included tube potential from 100 to 140 kVp and exposure from 80 to 800 mAs. Imaging performance was evaluated with regard to RED versus Hounsfield units (HU), uniformity, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), slice thickness, circular symmetry, modulation transfer function (MTF), and spatial resolution.
resultsAmong all institutions, some variability was observed among institutions in the RED-to-HU relationship, especially for RED values greater than 1, although no outliers were found (|z-score| < 2 in all cases). In this range, RED/HU slopes were 475 ± 25 10
conclusionsThis multi-institutional analysis of CBCT imaging performance showed consistency in radial uniformity, circular symmetry, integral nonuniformity, contrast, and spatial resolution. Some variability was seen in the RED-to-HU relationship for RED > 1 depending on exposure. More data from different institutions would be necessary to establish more robust statistical metrics, which ensure quality parameters.
