A dosimetric comparison of helical tomotherapy treatment delivery with real-time adaption and no motion correction.
Article in Physics and imaging in radiation oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This study assesses the ability of a helical tomotherapy system equipped with kV imaging and optical surface guidance to adapt to motion traces in real-time. To assess the delivery accuracy with motion, a unified testing framework was used. The average 2 %/2 mm γ-fail rates across all lung traces were 0.1 % for motion adapted and 17.4 % for no motion correction. Average 2 %/2 mm γ-fail rates across all prostate traces were 0.4 % for motion adapted and 12.2 % for no motion correction. Real-time motion adaption was shown to improve the accuracy of dose delivered to a moving phantom compared with no motion adaption.
