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

Proton therapy (PT) has the potential to deliver conformal doses to the tumor while sparing normal tissue, but is highly susceptible to treatment uncertainties. The occurrence of anatomical changes during PT treatments has a major impact on the delivered dose, often necessitating plan adaptations that are typically performed offline and require a few days before the adapted plan is ready. In order to react promptly to detected anatomical changes, online adaptive proton therapy (OAPT) has been proposed with the goal of adapting the plan while the patient is on the treatment couch. First OAPT workflows for daily plan adaptation that are effective against interfractional anatomical variations have reached clinical application. However, even faster OAPT workflows are needed to cope with faster anatomical changes. Near real-time adaptive PT (NAPT) relying on online
