3D-printed template and optical needle navigation in CT-guided iodine-125 permanent seed implantation.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 preliminarily verify the accuracy of navigation-assisted seed implantation by comparing pre-operative and actual differences in puncture characteristics and dosimetry in computed tomography (CT)-guided, navigation-assisted radioactive iodine-125 seed implantation, using 3D-printed templates for malignant tumors' treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 27 tumor patients, who were treated with seed implantation under combination guidance in our hospital between December 2019 and December 2020 were enrolled in this study. Navigation needles (
resultsMean errors of the angle, depth, insertion point, and tip position were 0.5 ±0.5°, 4.0 ±2.0 mm, 1.7 ±1 mm, and 3.1 ±1.8 mm, respectively. There were no significant differences between intra-operative and pre-operative angles (
conclusionsSeed implantation under combination guidance showed good accuracy, and the actual intra-operative puncture information and post-operative doses were in agreement with those in the pre-operative plan, thereby demonstrating promising prospects for further development.
