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
Hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer has shown improved local control but is challenging due to the proximity of several organs at risk (OARs). This study investigated possible dosimetric variations over a simulated SBRT course for pancreatic cancer using daily MR images considering breath hold (BH) and internal target volume (ITV) motion management techniques for three treatment regimes. Ten healthy volunteers were scanned on a Siemens Skyra 3T MRI. Each volunteer had 2 sets of scans acquired per day, 3 h apart, over five days, to represent a daily simulation planning scan and a pre-treatment scan. A hypothetical GTV was generated, with a BH GTV and ITV expanded to generate two different planning target volumes (PTV). Treatment plans for each were generated using the Raystation TPS on each bulk density corrected scan. Plans were propagated and accumulated to simulate conventional, daily adaptive and online adaptive treatment regimes, with DVH comparison of PTV and OAR doses. The BH PTV D95% varied on average - 2.9% ± 3% and - 5.1% ± 5.3% for conventional and daily adaptive regimes, while the ITV PTV D95% varied on average - 8.1% ± 7.2% and - 8.5% ± 5.4% respectively. For the online adaptive approach, the BH PTV D95% varied on average 1.5% ± 2.4% while the ITV PTV D95% varied on average 3% ± 4.9%, achieving improved agreement of target dose. In conclusion, pancreas SBRT shows significant dosimetric variations from positional variations of target and OARs, but accuracy may be improved with online adaptive treatment planning.
