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

purposeAccurate dosimetry is critical for ensuring the safety and efficacy of radiopharmaceutical therapies. In current clinical dosimetry practice, MIRD formalisms are widely employed. However, with the rapid advancement of deep learning (DL) algorithms, there has been an increasing interest in leveraging the calculation speed and automation capabilities for different tasks. We aimed to develop a hybrid transformer-based deep learning (DL) model that incorporates a multiple voxel S-value (MSV) approach for voxel-level dosimetry in [

methodsWe used a dataset consisting of 22 patients undergoing up to 4 cycles of [

resultsThe DL approach showed slightly better performance (voxel relative absolute error (RAE) = 5.28 ± 1.32) compared to MSV (voxel RAE = 5.54 ± 1.4) and outperformed SSV (voxel RAE = 7.8 ± 3.02). Gamma analysis pass rates were 99.0 ± 1.2%, 98.8 ± 1.3%, and 98.7 ± 1.52% for DL, MSV, and SSV approaches, respectively. The computational time for MC was the highest (~2 days for a single-bed SPECT study) compared to MSV, SSV, and DL, whereas the DL-based approach outperformed the other approaches in terms of time efficiency (3 s for a single-bed SPECT). Organ-wise analysis showed absolute percent errors of 1.44 ± 3.05%, 1.18 ± 2.65%, and 1.15 ± 2.5% for SSV, MSV, and DL approaches, respectively, in lesion-absorbed doses.

conclusionA hybrid transformer-based deep learning model was developed for fast and accurate dose map generation, outperforming the MIRD approaches, specifically in heterogenous regions. The model achieved accuracy close to MC gold standard and has potential for clinical implementation for use on large-scale datasets.
