Effect of bladder volume on radiation doses to organs at risk and tumor in cervical cancer during image-guided adaptive brachytherapy and treatment outcome analysis.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
There is no consensus in clinical practice on the optimal bladder volume during brachytherapy. The present study aimed to assess the effect of bladder volume on radiation dose to organs at risk and tumor in cervical cancer during image-guided adaptive brachytherapy and clinical outcome. The retrospective study included patients treated at University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital between January 2015 and July 2019. Patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (2009) stage IB1-IVB (retroperitoneal lymph nodes metastasis only) cervical cancer treated by external beam radiotherapy with concurrent cisplatin followed by brachytherapy were assessed. A total of 421 brachytherapy insertions were analyzed. Every 83 and 90 cm
