Steering a Tendon-Driven Needle in High-Dose-Rate Prostate Brachytherapy for Patients with Pubic Arch Interference.
Article in ... International Symposium on Medical Robotics. International Symposium on Medical Robotics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
High-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR BT) is a radiation therapy that places radioactive sources at cancerous tissue using needles. HDR BT offers better dose conformality and sparing of clinical structures, lower operator dependency, and fewer acute irritative symptoms compared to the other form of BT (low-dose-rate (LDR)). However, use of HDR BT is limited for patients with pubic arch interference, where the transperineal path to the prostate is blocked. This study aims to introduce a tendon-driven needle that can bend inside tissue to reach desired positions inside prostate. Initial experiments in a phantom tissue showed the feasibility of the needle to get around the pubic arch for placement at hard-to-reach target positions.
