Dosimetric impact of target definition in brachytherapy for cervical cancer - Computed tomography and trans rectal ultrasound versus magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in Physics and imaging in radiation oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background and Purpose: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based target definition in cervix brachytherapy is limited by its availability, logistics and financial implications, therefore, use of computed tomography (CT) and Trans Rectal UltraSonography (TRUS) has been explored. The current study evaluated the dosimetric impact of CT + TRUS based target volumes as compared to gold standard MRI. Methods and Materials: Images of patients (n = 21) who underwent TRUS followed by MRI and CT, were delineated with High-Risk Clinical Target Volume in CT (CTV Results: No statistically significant systematic difference was found between MRI and CT. Mean difference (±1.96 SD) of D Conclusion: CT + TRUS based delineation of CTV
