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

This paper aims to propose a noninvasive radiotherapy patient positioning system based on structured light surface imaging, and evaluate its clinical feasibility. First, structured light sensors were used to obtain the panoramic point clouds during radiotherapy positioning in real time. The fusion of different point clouds and coordinate transformation were realized based on optical calibration and pose estimation, and the body surface was segmented referring to the preset region of interest (ROI). Then, the global-local registration of cross-source point cloud was achieved based on algorithms such as random sample consensus (RANSAC) and iterative closest point (ICP), to calculate 6 degrees of freedom (DoF) positioning deviation and provide guidance for the correction of couch shifts. The evaluation of the system was carried out based on a rigid adult phantom and volunteers' body, which included positioning error, correlation analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Using Cone Beam CT (CBCT) as the gold standard, the maximum translation and rotation errors of this system were (1.5 ± 0.9) mm along Vrt direction (chest) and (0.7 ± 0.3) ° along Pitch direction (head and neck). The Pearson correlation coefficient between results of system outputs and CBCT verification distributed in an interval of [0.80, 0.84]. Results of ROC analysis showed that the translational and rotational AUC values were 0.82 and 0.85, respectively. In the 4D freedom accuracy test on the human body of volunteers, the maximum translation and rotation errors were (2.6 ± 1.1) mm (Vrt direction, chest and abdomen) and (0.8 ± 0.4)° (Rtn direction, chest and abdomen) respectively. In summary, the positioning system based on structured light body surface imaging proposed in this article can ensure positioning accuracy without surface markers and additional doses, and is feasible for clinical application.
