Evaluation of the Setup Accuracy of a Skin-markerless Positioning Using Surface-guided Radiotherapy in Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimAccelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is an alternative to whole-breast irradiation in early-stage breast cancer. This study evaluated the setup accuracy of a workflow without skin markers that uses surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT) in conjunction with clip-based alignment in patients undergoing APBI. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study recruited 35 patients who underwent APBI after breast-conserving surgery. Treatment plans were generated with 30 Gy in five fractions. During the treatment period, patients were positioned using AlignRT, intentionally omitting the skin marks. After the initial setup, the position was verified
resultsA total of 175 treatment fractions were analyzed. The mean±standard deviation (SD) residual setup error detected
conclusionThe integration of surface-guided radiation therapy and clip alignment effectively achieved accurate and efficient patient positioning; this can serve as an alternative to traditional skin markers in the external beam APBI workflow.
