Feasibility and workflow efficiency of automated deep inspiration breath-hold for locoregional breast irradiation on a ring-gantry accelerator.

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
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, dosimetric quality, workflow efficiency, and early tolerance of automated deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) breast radiotherapy delivered on a ring-gantry platform. Materials and methods: Twenty patients requiring locoregional irradiation were treated on a Radixact ring-gantry system between February and September 2025 using a static-beam intensity-modulated technique in automated DIBH. Dose/volume metrics for targets and organs of interest (OOIs), workflow parameters, and acute side effects were collected. Benchmark helical tomotherapy plans in DIBH conditions were reoptimized for comparison. Results: All patients completed DIBH treatment. PTV coverage was consistently achieved (mean V Conclusions: Fully automated DIBH breast radiotherapy on a ring-based accelerator is feasible, safe and compatible with routine workflow. This study provides the first experience supporting automated DIBH gated delivery on a ring-based accelerator.
