Effect of Hyaluronate Acid Injection on Dose-Volume Parameters in Brachytherapy for Cervical Cancer.
Article in Advances in radiation oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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: Hyaluronate gel has been injected as a spacer into the rectovaginal fossa and vesicouterine fossa during brachytherapy for patients with cervical cancer at our institution. The effect of hyaluronate gel injection (HGI) on dose-volume parameters was investigated in this study. Methods and Materials: Between July 2008 to January 2020, a total of 104 patients (non-HGI group: 52 patients; HGI group: 52 patients) who underwent curative radiation therapy for cervical cancer were selected. The total doses of external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy for high-risk clinical target volume (CTV Results: Median CTV Conclusions: In cases with HGI, a significant CTV
