Treating cancerous large airway stenosis with staging radioactive particle implantation guided by computed tomography and fiber bronchoscopy: a clinical study.
Trial report in World journal of surgical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundThe purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness of staging radioactive particle implantation guided by computed tomography (CT) and fiber-optic bronchoscopy in treating cancerous large airway stenosis.
methodsA total of 102 patients were included; 57 had undergone staging radioactive particle implantation guided by CT and fiber bronchoscopy and 45 did not. Patients were evaluated by CT and fiber-optic bronchoscopy to determine the feasibility of the implantation of radioactive seeds for the treatment of cancerous large airway stenosis. The treatment planning system (TPS) was used to plan the doses. Radioactive seeds were implanted using fiber-optic bronchoscopy. One week later, CT-guided implantation of radioactive seeds was performed.
resultsThe clinical evaluation showed complete, partial, slight, and non-response in 38, 14, 5, and 0 patients, respectively. None of the patients were found with serious complications. The diameter of the affected airway, Karnofsky score, dyspnea index, survival, and quality of life of the patients in both groups was significantly higher and significantly different after the treatment (P < 0.05). The dyspnea index was significantly lower in the treatment group as compared with the control group (P < 0.001).
conclusionCT- and fiber bronchoscopy-guided staging radioactive particle implantation has definite treatment effectiveness in treating cancerous large airway stenosis. It should be widely used in clinical practices.
