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

Active magnetic resonance (MR) tracking for gynecologic brachytherapy was made possible by attaching the micro radiofrequency coils to the brachytherapy applicator. The rectangular planar micro coil was fabricated using flexible printed circuits with dimensions of 8mm×1.5mm. A 5-Fr (1.6mm) tungsten brachytherapy stylet was custom-machined to incorporate the micro coils. The finite element analysis and the phantom tissue studies show that the proposed device enables
