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

In recent years, three international guidelines on the use of MRI in radiotherapy (RT) have been published, each offering valuable recommendations. However, the coexistence of multiple guidelines can make it challenging for practitioners to determine which to follow in specific clinical contexts. This review aims to clarify where the guidelines converge, where they differ, and how they can be used together to support informed decision-making. Authored by contributors from the AAPM (US), IPEM (UK), and NCS (NL) this overview provides a concise yet comprehensive comparison of their scope, content, and recommendations. This synthesis serves as a practical and informative resource for the medical physics community, supporting more consistent and informed implementation of MRI in RT.
