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

purposeTo evaluate the correlations of post-implant regional dosimetrics at 24 hours (24 h) and 1 month after implant procedures, with clinical outcomes of low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer. MATERIAL AND

methodsBetween January 2008 and December 2014, 130 consecutive patients treated for localized prostate cancer, receiving definitive iodine-125 (

resultsThe median follow-up time was 69.5 months. Seven patients (5.4%) had biochemical failure. The 3-year and 5-year BFFS rates were 96.7% and 93.1%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, prostate-specific antigen and Gleason score were significant prognostic factors for biochemical failure. D
