Outcomes of I-125 brachytherapy for uveal melanomas depending on irradiation dose applied to the tumor apex - a single institution study.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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 the study was an evaluation of I-125 brachytherapy patients with uveal melanoma with special consideration for the relationship of the treatment results and the irradiation dose applied to the tumor apex. MATERIAL AND
methodsMedical records of 344 adults with uveal melanoma treated with I-125 brachytherapy in the Department of Ophthalmology and Ocular Oncology of the Jagiellonian University, Medical College in Cracow, Poland were retrospectively analyzed. The study was conducted between 2003 and 2012, and the study group was divided into two subgroups depending on the irradiation dose applied to the top of the tumor: 80 Gy to 100 Gy (
resultsIt was found that the height of the tumor and the largest diameter of the tumor base decreased with every consecutive follow-up measurement and differed significantly in all comparisons (
conclusionsThe treatment of choroidal melanomas with I-125 iodine isotope brachytherapy is an efficient and recommended method of treatment and in many cases, an alternative to the enucleation of an eyeball.
