Statistical Analysis of Interfraction Dose Variations of High-Risk Clinical Target Volume and Organs at Risk for Cervical Cancer High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy.

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: High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for cervical cancer treatment includes significant uncertainties. The aim of this study was to quantify the interfraction dosimetric variation (IDV) of the high-risk clinical target volume (HRCTV) from the prescribed dose and the corresponding effect on organ-at-risk (OAR) dose based on a comprehensive statistical analysis. Methods and Materials: Fifty patients with cervical cancer treated with high-dose-rate intracavity brachytherapy from October 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The OARs of interest were the rectum, bladder, sigmoid, and bowel. The dosimetric parameters evaluated for all patients was the dose absorbed by 90% of the HRCTV ( Results: The mean HRCTV variation from the prescribed dose was -2.53% ± 8.74%. The HRCTV variations and OAR variations showed moderate to weak linear correlations despite the variations being relative to each other, with the bladder Conclusions: HRCTV dosimetric variations and OAR variations were complexly correlated with the bladder
