Intensity-modulated brachytherapy for vaginal cancer.
Article in Radiological physics and technology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aimed to evaluate the dose modulation potential of static and dynamic steel-shielded applicators using the Geant4 Application for Emission Tomography (GATE) Monte Carlo code for the treatment of vaginal cancer. The GATE TOOLKIT (version 9.0) was used to simulate vaginal cancer intensity-modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) in a pelvic water-equivalent phantom. IMBT performance of a multichannel static and single-channel dynamic steel-shielded applicator was compared to that of a conventional multichannel Plexiglas applicator. DoseActors were defined to calculate the absorbed dose and attached to the voxelized target and organs at risk (OARs).
