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

Background: Accurate delineation of orodental structures on radiotherapy CT images is essential for dosimetric assessments and dental decisions. We propose a deep-learning auto-segmentation framework for individual teeth and mandible/maxilla sub-volumes aligned with the ClinRad ORN staging system. Methods: Mandible and maxilla sub-volumes were manually defined, differentiating between alveolar and basal regions, and teeth were labelled individually. For each task, a DL segmentation model was independently trained. A Swin UNETR-based model was used for the mandible sub-volumes. For the smaller structures (e.g., teeth and maxilla sub-volumes) a two-stage segmentation model first used the ResUNet to segment the entire teeth and maxilla regions as a single ROI that was then used to crop the image input of the Swin UNETR. In addition to segmentation accuracy and geometric precision, a dosimetric comparison was made between manual and model-predicted segmentations. Results: Segmentation performance varied across sub-volumes - mean Dice values of 0.85 (mandible basal), 0.82 (mandible alveolar), 0.78 (maxilla alveolar), 0.80 (upper central teeth), 0.69 (upper premolars), 0.76 (upper molars), 0.76 (lower central teeth), 0.70 (lower premolars), 0.71 (lower molars) - and exhibited limited applicability in segmenting teeth and sub-volumes often absent in the data. Only the maxilla alveolar central sub-volume showed a statistically significant dosimetric difference (Bonferroni-adjusted p-value = 0.02). Conclusion: We present a novel DL-based auto-segmentation framework of orodental structures, enabling spatial localization of dose-related differences in the jaw. This tool enhances image-based bone injury detection, including ORN, and improves clinical decision-making in radiation oncology and dental care for head and neck cancer patients.
