Prediction of radiologic outcome-optimized dose plans and post-treatment magnetic resonance images: A proof-of-concept study in breast cancer brain metastases treated with stereotactic radiosurgery.

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 and purpose: Information in multiparametric Magnetic Resonance (mpMR) images is relatable to voxel-level tumor response to Radiation Treatment (RT). We have investigated a deep learning framework to predict (i) post-treatment mpMR images from pre-treatment mpMR images and the dose map ("forward models"), and, (ii) the RT dose map that will produce prescribed changes within the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) on post-treatment mpMR images ("inverse model"), in Breast Cancer Metastases to the Brain (BCMB) treated with Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). Materials and methods: Local outcomes, planning computed tomography (CT) images, dose maps, and pre-treatment and post-treatment Apparent Diffusion Coefficient of water (ADC) maps, T1-weighted unenhanced (T1w) and contrast-enhanced (T1wCE), T2-weighted (T2w) and Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) mpMR images were curated from 39 BCMB patients. mpMR images were co-registered to the planning CT and intensity-calibrated. A 2D pix2pix architecture was used to train 5 forward models (ADC, T2w, FLAIR, T1w, T1wCE) and 1 inverse model on 1940 slices from 18 BCMB patients, and tested on 437 slices from another 9 BCMB patients. Results: Root Mean Square Percent Error (RMSPE) within the GTV between predicted and ground-truth post-RT images for the 5 forward models, in 136 test slices containing GTV, were (mean ± SD) 0.12 ± 0.044 (ADC), 0.14 ± 0.066 (T2w), 0.08 ± 0.038 (T1w), 0.13 ± 0.058 (T1wCE), and 0.09 ± 0.056 (FLAIR). RMSPE within the GTV on the same 136 test slices, between the predicted and ground-truth dose maps, was 0.37 ± 0.20 for the inverse model. Conclusions: A deep learning-based approach for radiologic outcome-optimized dose planning in SRS of BCMB has been demonstrated.
