Catheter-based delineation of lumpectomy cavity for accurate target definition in partial-breast irradiation with multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeIn partial-breast irradiation (PBI), accurate lumpectomy cavity (LC) delineation is critical. Seroma-based delineation (SBD) using computed tomography (CT) with clips remains uncertain, causing an expansion of the LC and planning target volume (PTV). In catheter-based delineation (CBD), the implanted catheters were used as reference markers for LC delineation in multicatheter interstitial brachytherapy (MIB). MATERIAL AND
methodsBetween October 2008 and October 2018, 513 patients who underwent MIB-PBI were examined. In CBD, anatomical relations of LC to catheters were recorded. In randomly selected 22 CBD cases, the LC volume and PTV were retrospectively recontoured on SBD, and the relationship between the contribution of CBD and cavity visuality was evaluated. The LC volume and PTV before and after the introduction of CBD were compared.
resultsThe mean LC volumes based on SBD and CBD were 19.1 cm
conclusionsCBD may help to establish the standardized procedure for MIB-PBI and prevent unnecessary radiation exposure to the normal breast tissue.
