Comparing multichannel cylinder and 3D-printed applicators for vaginal cuff brachytherapy with preliminary exploration of post-hysterectomy vaginal morphology.
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 9 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 compare dosimetric parameters of multichannel cylinder (MCC) and 3-dimensional (3D)-printed plans for high-dose-rate vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VBT) and to explore vaginal morphologies after hysterectomy. MATERIAL AND
methodsForty-eight patients with gynecological cancer who required VBT after hysterectomy were investigated. To develop a 3D-printed applicator, computed tomography images were obtained with contrast-soaked vaginal gauzes placed
resultsIn terms of clinical target volume (CTV) coverage, V
conclusionsCompared with MCC, 3D-printed applicators delivered a higher dose and larger volume, and offered more homogeneous and conformal target coverage. Further research on vaginal morphology will be valuable to help screen out patients who need 3D-printed applicators, and to provide guidance for designing new applicators.
