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

Online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) represents a significant advancement in personalised radiation cancer treatment, offering improved daily dose to targets and optimised organ exposures with reduced toxicity. Implementation remains challenging due to resource intensiveness, workflow complexity and workforce limitations. This article presents international insights on optimising oART delivery with a focus on practice development and workforce transformation. Strategies are explored to improve workflow efficiency, integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the role of both therapeutic radiographers and radiation therapists (RTTs) in leading adaptive workflows. Credentialing frameworks for RTTs are examined as a mechanism to support sustainable oART delivery and reduce clinician console time. The discussion synthesises practical innovations from across multiple international healthcare systems, highlighting reproducible models for efficiency, workforce training and AI integration. These insights aim to guide global efforts in scaling oART delivery through efficient and collaborative practice models that align with safe, accessible patient-centred care.
