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

objectiveThis retrospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided

methodsFrom March 2011 to December 2015, 35 pelvic recurrent lesions (33 patients) were reirradiated using this type of salvage therapy. The medical history, dose-volume histogram parameters, complications, local control, overall survival (OS), and affected factors were analyzed.

resultsAll patients were followed-up until expiration, and the median duration of follow-up was 16 months. The 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 18-month local control rates were 84.5%, 74.2%, 60.0%, 55.5%, and 33.3%, respectively. The symptoms significantly improved after implantation. The median local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS) and OS times were 7 months (range, 1-19 months) and 12 months (range, 2-42 months), respectively. The 1- and 2-year OS rates were 65.5% and 43.6%, respectively. In univariate analysis, a good performance status, a tumor diameter <4 cm, an interval time from last radiotherapy to seed implantation longer than 6 months and D90 (dose delivered to 90% of the target volume) ≥130 Gy were prognostic factors for LTPFS. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that tumor size and D90 were independent factors affecting LTPFS (
