Individual multi-catheter mould technique in high-dose-rate brachytherapy - personalized approach in treating multifocal angiosarcoma of the face.
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 5 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 this study was to report individual surface mould multi-catheter high-dose-rate (IMM HDR) application as a salvage treatment for a head and neck angiosarcoma patient, previously treated with surgery followed by external beam radiotherapy. MATERIAL AND
methodsA 74-year-old male reported to our center with an uncommon malignant neoplasm of blood vessels. The patient was qualified for a wide local excision (WLE) of tumor with simultaneous reconstruction using a free-flap collected from the patient's thigh. After surgery, the patient was qualified for adjuvant external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT). Volumetric arc therapy (VMAT; RapidArc
resultsOne month after surface IMM HDR, healing process of the skin was observed in the treated regions and six months later, the irradiated areas recovered. General condition of the patient deteriorated two years after diagnosis and one year after HDR. He was hospitalized to receive palliative care.
conclusionsHDR brachytherapy may be a valuable option for angiosarcoma treatment. Difficult lesion location may yield non-radical surgery. Surface IMM HDR provides highly conformal plan and allow adjusting the dose to individual clinical situation.
