Dosimetry advantages of intraoperatively built custom-linked seeds compared with loose seeds in permanent prostate brachytherapy.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to compare the implant quality between intraoperatively built custom-linked seeds (IBCL) and loose seeds (LS) retrospectively. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study included 74 prostate cancer patients who were treated with permanent prostate brachytherapy (PPB) using IBCL (
resultsIn intraoperative planning, prostate V
conclusionsIntraoperatively built custom-linked is more advantageous than LS in terms of dosimetric parameters and migration.
