The design of an individualized cylindrical vaginal applicator with oblique guide holes using 3D modeling and printing technologies.

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
High-dose-rate brachytherapy for cervical cancer after subtotal hysterectomy using standardized applicators cannot achieve a good absorbed-dose coverage of the target volume in special tumor morphologies and topographies due to the steep dose gradient. The aim of this pictorial essay is to present an individualized cylindrical vaginal applicator with oblique guide holes using 3D modeling and printing technologies used at the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University for cervical cancer patients. We use images to describe the steps of this method.
