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

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based auto-contouring techniques in radiation treatment planning require thorough clinical validation. In this study, we evaluated the geometric similarity between AI-generated auto-contours and manually drawn contours in prostate cancer treatment plans for 15 patients using OncoStudio (Oncosoft, Seoul, South Korea). The mean Dice similarity coefficients for the bladder, rectum, and right and left femoral heads were 0.90, 0.95, 0.97, and 0.97, respectively. The mean 95th percentile Hausdorff distances were 7.3 mm, 7.1 mm, 5.6 mm, and 5.0 mm for the same structures. These results demonstrate that OncoStudio's auto-segmentation provides high-quality contours suitable for prostate cancer treatment planning.
