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

purposesTo develop a fast, accurate and robust method of fusing Computed Tomography (CT) with pre-operative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and evaluate the impact of using the fused data on the implantation of Iodine-125 (

methodsA study was performed on a cohort of 10 consecutive patients with HGG were treated by

resultsThe median planning target volume was 50.1 cm

conclusionsThe proposed MRI-CT fusion method enables a quantitative assessment of impact on HGG brachytherapy. The additional information obtained from the fused images can be utilized for more accurate delineation of lesion boundaries and targeting of catheters. Experimental results show that the fusion algorithm is robust and reliable in clinical practice.
