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

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of computed tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (CT-MRI)-guided multi-catheter interstitial brachytherapy for patients with bulky (≥4 cm) and high-risk, stage IIB-IVB advanced cervical cancer. Eighteen patients who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy with multi-catheter interstitial brachytherapy between September 2014 and August 2020 were enrolled. The prescribed dose of external beam radiotherapy was 45-50.4 Gy, and the brachytherapy high-dose-rate aim was 25-30 Gy per 5 fractions. The endpoints were four-year local and pelvic control rates, four-year disease-free and overall survival rates, and the adverse events rate. The median follow-up period was 48.4 months (9.1-87.5 months). Fifteen patients received concurrent cisplatin therapy (40 mg/m
