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

Defining artificial intelligence (AI) remains a complex challenge, given its rapidly evolving nature. Nevertheless, one broadly accepted definition-endorsed by the European Union-describes AI as a suite of algorithms that learn from data to make predictions. Since the early 2010s, AI has emerged as a highly effective approach for analyzing, processing, and even generating medical image data.In this chapter, we provide an overview of key AI paradigms-radiomics, deep learning (DL), and foundation models-and examine their current and potential applications in medical image analysis within radiation oncology. We focus on topics, such as image classification, treatment planning, and response assessment, as well as novel strategies involving vision language models (VLMs). Through this exploration, we offer insights into how AI is transforming clinical workflows and shaping future directions in radiation oncology.
