Interstitial high-dose-rate brachytherapy using cobalt-60 source for cervical cancer: dosimetric and clinical outcomes from a single institute.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2020. 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
purposeTo record and report dosimetric and clinical outcomes of interstitial brachytherapy using cobalt-60 ( MATERIAL AND
methodsSeventy patients who underwent external beam radiotherapy with dose of 45 Gy in 25 fractions, followed by interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) 6.5 Gy × 4 fractions were included into this study. The ISBT applicators were inserted under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia. Computed tomography (CT) simulation was performed and axial CT images were transferred to treatment planning system.
