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

purposeTwo-dimensional (2D) cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), available with a MR-linear accelerator (MR-Linac), allows real-time visualization of anatomical information during irradiation. The present study aimed to develop and evaluate a deep learning model that can estimate the organ-at-risk (OAR) dose constraints (mainly bladder V37Gy) from 2D cine MRI.

methodsThe present study enrolled 91 prostate cancer patients treated with MR-Linac. From 381 treatment fractions, sagittal images at the start and end of the 2D cine MRI were extracted. Additionally, 3D MRI data acquired pre- and post-irradiation were collected, from which bladder V37Gy was calculated. We designed the deep learning model to predict the end-of-irradiation bladder V37Gy value based on the bladder image on the end-of-irradiation 2D cine MRI. The model inputs included the start and end 2D cine MR images, a difference image between them, and the pre-irradiation bladder V37Gy. The model output was the post-irradiation bladder V37Gy. We utilized a five-fold cross-validation for model training and evaluated the performance using a test dataset. For reference, we also evaluated the predictions made using only the pre-irradiation bladder V37Gy.

resultsIn the test dataset, the model-predicted and true bladder V37Gy values showed a strong correlation (r = 0.89), with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.40 cm

conclusionsOur results demonstrated that deep learning can effectively predict the OAR dose constraints during irradiation. However, it is noteworthy that these results show only a limited improvement and are constrained by several limitations.
