Artificial Intelligence-based Automated Anatomic Landmark Detection and Image Deformation for Nonsmall Lung Cancer Cases.
Article in Journal of medical physics. 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
Background: Adaptive radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) requires accurate image registration to account for anatomical changes during treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches have shown potential in improving automated landmark detection and deformable image registration. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the application of AI for automated anatomic landmark detection and image deformation in NSCLC cases to support adaptive radiotherapy planning. Materials and Methods: A multimodal image registration approach combining cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and computed tomography (CT) images was implemented. The workflow consisted of multistage registration, beginning with rigid registration followed by deep-learning-based deformable registration using the VoxelMorph framework. A total of 1040 axial CBCT and CT images were used for training, validation, and testing of the landmark detection model based on the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm. Various YOLO models were compared for spine landmark detection. Model performance was evaluated using Intersection over Union (IoU), Mean Average Precision (mAP), Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), and Target Registration Error (TRE). Results: Among the evaluated models, YOLOv3 achieved the highest accuracy for spine landmark detection, with an IoU of 0.818 and an mAP of 0.66. For organ-at-risk segmentation in deformable registration, YOLOv9 outperformed YOLOv8. Rigid registration demonstrated an average DSC of 0.88 ± 0.04 and a TRE of 1.7 ± 1.0 mm, within the tolerance range recommended by AAPM Task Group 132. Deformable registration using VoxelMorph achieved acceptable micro-DSC values; however, macro-DSC results indicated the need for further refinement. Conclusion: AI-based methods demonstrate promising performance for automated landmark detection and deformable image registration in adaptive radiotherapy for NSCLC. Nevertheless, further optimization is required to improve accuracy and reduce variability in registered images before routine clinical implementation.
