Innovative approaches in precision radiation oncology: advanced imaging technologies and challenges which shape the future of radiation therapy.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Radiation oncology is undergoing a transformative shift toward precision medicine through unprecedented advances in imaging technologies that enable increasingly personalized and adaptive cancer treatment. This comprehensive review synthesizes the underlying physical principles, current clinical applications, technical challenges, and quality assurance requirements across the complete spectrum of emerging imaging-guided radiation therapy approaches. We examine magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy systems that enable daily soft-tissue visualization and online plan adaptation, positron emission tomography-guided platforms that allow real-time tracking of metabolically active tumor regions, advanced cone beam computed tomography systems supporting rapid adaptive workflows through artificial intelligence-enhanced image generation, and novel applications including Cherenkov radiation imaging and stereoscopic guidance with surface tracking. For proton therapy, we address innovations spanning dual-energy computed tomography, proton computed tomography, and
