The impact of robustness of deformable image registration on contour propagation and dose accumulation for head and neck adaptive radiotherapy.
Trial report in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Deformable image registration (DIR) is the key process for contour propagation and dose accumulation in adaptive radiation therapy (ART). However, currently, ART suffers from a lack of understanding of "robustness" of the process involving the image contour based on DIR and subsequent dose variations caused by algorithm itself and the presetting parameters. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the DIR caused variations for contour propagation and dose accumulation during ART using the RayStation treatment planning system. Ten head and neck cancer patients were selected for retrospective studies. Contours were performed by a single radiation oncologist and new treatment plans were generated on the weekly CT scans for all patients. For each DIR process, four deformation vector fields (DVFs) were generated to propagate contours and accumulate weekly dose by the following algorithms: (a) ANACONDA with simple presetting parameters, (b) ANACONDA with detailed presetting parameters, (c) MORFEUS with simple presetting parameters, and (d) MORFEUS with detailed presetting parameters. The geometric evaluation considered DICE coefficient and Hausdorff distance. The dosimetric evaluation included D
