CT-MR Image Fusion for Post-Implant Dosimetry Analysis in Brain Tumor Seed Implantation- a Preliminary Study.
Article in Disease markers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: To calculate and evaluate postimplant dosimetry (PID) with CT-MR fusion technique after brain tumor brachytherapy and compare the result with CT-based PID. Methods and Materials: 16 brain tumor patients received MR-guided intervention with Iodine-125 ( Results: The numbers of fusion seeds were not significantly different compared with reference seeds (t =1.76, p >0.05). The difference between reference seeds numbers and truly extracted MR seeds numbers was statistically significant (t =3.91, p <0.05). All dosimetric parameters showed significant differences between the two techniques (p <0.05). The mean CTV delineated on fusion images was 34.3 ± 33.6, smaller than that on CT images. The mean values of external V100, %V100 and %D90 on fusion images were larger than those on CT images. Correlation analysis showed that the fusion-CT V100 ratio was positively and significantly correlated with the fusion-CT volume ratio. Conclusions: This preliminary study indicated that CT-MR fusion-based PID exhibited good accuracy for
