The Clinical Feasibility and Safety of 1.5 T MR-Guided Daily Adapted Radiotherapy in 1000 Patients: A Real-World Large Experience of an Early-Adopter Center.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
PURPOSE/
objectiveThe clinical implementation of MR-guided radiotherapy on MR-linacs (MRL) hasrapidly increased in recent years. The advantages represented by the MR-based daily online plan adaptation and real-time monitoring have been exploited for different tumor sites. Nevertheless, some concerns remain, mainly related to the longer treatment time and limited patient eligibility. We report here the experience of our center, where a 1.5T MRL was clinically implemented in 2019 and, since then, more than 1200 patients have been treated. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe first 1000 patients treated at the MRL in our department were selected. Technical information such as treatment time and adaptive technic have been prospectively recorded, while toxicity data were retrospectively collected.
resultsBetween October 2019 and June 2024, 1000 patients for a total of 1061 treatment courses were included. Prostate and prostate bed were irradiated in 57.1% and 10.2% of the cases, respectively, including regional pelvic lymphnodes in 4.7%. Other frequent treated sites were lymph node metastases, pancreas and liver. The most frequent prescribed doses were 36.25 Gy (31%), 35 Gy (28.3%) and 30 Gy (9.4%) in five fractions. On a total of 9076 administered fractions, 80.8% were performed with adapt-to-shape and 19.2% with adapt-to-position method. The mean in-room time was 38 min (range, 18-103), with 74.4% of patients completing the session within 40 min. Acute grade (G) 3 toxicity was recorded in 1.6% of the cases, while, on a total of 858 patients available for late toxicity, G3 was recorded in 0.3% of the cases, with no >G3.
conclusionsOur real-world experience of an early-adopter center confirms that MRL treatments are feasible for different tumor entities in several anatomical sites. We showed that most of the patients could be treated within 40 min and showed low toxicity rates. Protocols for dose escalation and margin reduction, by adopting new comprehensive motion monitoring strategies, are under development.
