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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the reduction in dose to the penile bulb (PB) achieved by MRI-based contouring following drinking and endorectal balloon (ERB) instructions. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 17 prostate cancer patients were treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and interstitial brachytherapy (IBT). CT and MRI datasets were acquired back-to-back based on a 65 cm

conclusionMRI-based contouring and seven-field IMRT-based treatment planning achieved dose sparing to the PB. Whereas the comparison of MRI and CT contouring only relates to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) sparing, considering EBRT and IBT shows the improvement in PB sparing for the total treatment.
