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 online adaptive radiotherapy (ART), quick computation-based secondary dose verification is crucial for ensuring the quality of ART plans while the patient is positioned on the treatment couch. However, traditional dose verification algorithms are generally time-consuming, reducing the efficiency of ART workflow. This study aims to develop an ultra-fast deep-learning (DL) based secondary dose verification algorithm to accurately estimate dose distributions using computed tomography (CT) and fluence maps (FMs). We integrated FMs into the CT image domain by explicitly resolving the geometry of treatment delivery. For each gantry angle, an FM was constructed based on the optimized multi-leaf collimator apertures and corresponding monitoring units. To effectively encode treatment beam configuration, the constructed FMs were back-projected to
