Automatic target volume segmentation for offline adaptive head-and-neck radiotherapy.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo assess the clinical utility of Smartfuse (Therapanacea, France), a deformable image registration (DIR) algorithm for automatic propagation of target volumes in the context of offline adaptive head-and-neck radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsTen patients underwent offline re-planning during head-and-neck radiotherapy. Target volumes (GTV and CTV) were manually delineated by radiation oncologists (ROs) on both the initial CT (CT
resultsMedian DSC, HD
conclusionSmartfuse may facilitate efficient propagation of target volumes in this study. However, medical review of auto-propagated volumes remains essential, as dosimetric discrepancies may arise when relying solely on automatically generated PTV.
