The Feasibility of Total Body Photography (TBP) in Superficial Radiation Therapy (SXRT).
Article in Journal of medical radiation sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 study aims to investigate the feasibility of total body photography (TBP) as a superficial radiation therapy (SXRT) treatment record, to overcome the limitations that tracings and two-dimensional (2D) photographs pose when patients return for future SXRT treatment.
methodsA retrospective audit included 44 patients treated with SXRT at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH), from January 2020 to December 2022, with lesion characteristics and patient setup information collected. A prospective study involved applying mock lesions to four healthy volunteers, who were imaged multiple times using a three-dimensional (3D) digital photometry system. The system's feasibility as a longitudinal digital record was assessed using the 3D images.
resultsFrom the retrospective audit, 48 lesions were treated, 38 were located on the head and neck, and 9 on the limbs, with treatment areas ranging from 1.4-60.1 cm
conclusionTBP has sound potential as a SXRT digital treatment record. Further studies should investigate neck, limbs and scalp lesions to confirm its practical use in SXRT for a larger patient cohort.
