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

This study evaluates the dosimetric impact of material and mass density misassignments in Acuros XB dose calculations using phantom simulations and clinical analysis in Eclipse TPS. The phantom study analyzed material and mass density misassignments in Acuros XB using virtual phantoms with a central insert assigned different materials and mass densities to simulate misassignment. A clinical analysis of 270 patient CT scans from three scanners assessed HU variations in sinonasal cavities, bladder, and liver. Dosimetric deviations were examined in 96 radiotherapy patients across these anatomical sites by comparing automatic and manual material assignments, with dose differences assessed using D
