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

Radionuclides conjugated to molecules that bind specifically to cancer cells are of great interest as a means to increase the specificity of radiotherapy. Currently, the methods to disseminate these targeted radiotherapeutics have been either systemic delivery or by bolus injection into the tumor or tumor resection cavity. Herein we model a potentially more efficient method of delivery, namely pressure-driven fluid flow, called convection-enhanced delivery (CED), where a device infuses the molecules in solution (or suspension) directly into the tissue of interest. In particular, we focus on the setting of primary brain cancer after debulking surgery, where the tissue margins surrounding the surgical resection cavity are infiltrated with tumor cells and the most frequent sites of tumor recurrence. We develop the combination of fluid flow, chemical kinetics, and radiation dose models needed to examine such protocols. We focus on Auger electron-emitting radionuclides (e.g.
