1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeClinical drawings are integral part of image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) of cervical cancer. It was used in EMBRACE study protocol as a useful tool. In our study clinical drawings from EMBRACE study were modified to include scales in all the dimensions for more accurate representation of various tumor related volumes. The aim of the present study was to understand patterns of tumor regression and relationship between gross tumor at diagnosis (GTVD) and high-risk clinical target volume (CTV-T MATERIAL AND

methods42 cervical cancer patients, staged as FIGO IIB-IIIB according to EMBRACE study, were enrolled. Advanced schematic 3D mapping diagram (3D-MD) in axial, coronal, and sagittal orientations, with a measurement scale (grid with 10 mm distance) for precise assessment and documentation was applied (through MRI at diagnosis and during brachytherapy). Dimensions, including height, width, and thickness as well as volumes (GTVD, CTV-T RESULTS AND

conclusionsWe found qualitative and quantitative correlation of the dimensions of final CTV-T
