Managing Radiation Therapy Treatment Delivery Challenges: Impact of an Interprofessional Educational Series for Radiation Therapists and Radiation Oncology Residents.
Article in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 residents report varying confidence with on-treatment setup challenges (J Cancer Educ Off J Am Assoc Cancer Educ 36(2):278-283 (2021)). Radiation therapy technologist (RTT) training is variable across institutions (Tech Innov Patient Support Radiat Oncol 24:59-62 (2022)). This study assesses the impact of an interprofessional educational course on RTT and radiation oncology resident knowledge and comfort with managing radiation therapy (RT) treatment challenges. An interprofessional course on managing RT treatment challenges was offered to radiation oncology residents, RTTs, and other team members. Each site-specific session was given by an expert radiation oncology attending with in-person and virtual attendees. Anonymous pre- and post-tests were collected via QR code. Pretests assessed demographics, knowledge (2 multiple choice questions), and comfort (Likert-type Scale, 1-5) with the material. Post-tests also assessed utility and potential implementation. Statistical tests compared pre- vs. post-tests. Nine one-hour sessions were conducted over one year. Respondents were mostly radiation oncology residents/attendings (47.5%) and RTTs (46.3%). 175 pretests and 156 post-tests were fully completed. Overall, 208/353 (58.9%) responses were correct pre-test and 221/313 (70.6%) post-test (p = 0.002). Comfort improved from 101 (56.8%) reporting strong agreement or agreement pre-test to 131 (83.4%) post-test. Median comfort scores improved from 4 (IQR 3-4) to 4 (IQR 4-5), p < 0.001. Respondents strongly agreed that the sessions were useful (median 5, IQR 5-5) and applicable to future practice (median 5, IQR 5-5). 118 respondents had paired pre- and post-tests, with significant improvement in knowledge (p = 0.004) and comfort (p < 0.0001). Attendees of our interprofessional education course demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge and comfort with the material. Similar educational efforts could be useful for a broader radiation oncology audience.
