Leveraging CT-based online adaptive radiotherapy for dose escalation in hypofractionated radiotherapy for locally advanced unresectable lung cancer.

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
Standard treatment for locally advanced (LA) lung cancer is surgery or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT), but many patients are ineligible due to comorbidities. Sequential radiation (RT) and chemotherapy offer lower local control (LC) rates. Dose escalation and hypofractionation are emerging options for locally advanced (LA) NSCLC patients ineligible for surgery or chemoradiotherapy. However, toxicity rates remain unacceptable (G3-esophagitis up to 24%, G3-pneumonitis up to 12%). We have developed a novel approach that leverages CT-based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) to deliver a simultaneously integrated boost while respecting OAR constraints. The oART workflow consists of image acquisition, patient modeling/contouring, plan generation/selection, verification image match (CBCT-to-CBCT), and treatment delivery. Targets were rigidly propagated and aligned daily; critical OARs were recontoured to account for inter-fraction variability and ensure OAR tolerances were not exceeded for daily treatment. Here, we outline our technical approach.
