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

purposeOnline adaptive radiation therapy (oART) has generated a significant influx of daily treatment planning data. Present oART platforms have leveraged automation for decreased planning times at the expense of end-user access, making longitudinal oART data assessment time consuming. We have developed modified software that extracts oART data from the secondary calculation software associated with one of the oART platforms.

methodsA Python program was developed to query oART data from a web-based secondary dose calculation software. Structure, plan, and dosimetric data were collected for all generated oART plans over the course of 3 years. This software stores data in a Pandas dataframe to allow for comparisons and advanced visualization. The software includes some pre-defined visualization and analysis methods, as well as tools to de-identify and share cohorts of oART data.

resultsTwelve hundred oART sessions were pulled from our secondary dose verification software. Various visualization methods were implemented and are demonstrated in this technical note. This software demonstrated significant time savings in data extraction compared to manual session exports, but does not pull raw DICOM information, such as CT scans, structure sets, or dose files.

conclusionOur extraction software presents a streamlined way to collect, analyze, and visualize oART data using a dedicated oART platform. Further tools are needed to improve access and analysis of oART data.
