Electronic brachytherapy for gynecological cancers - a systematic review.
Review in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The purpose of this manuscript is to provide an in-depth literature review of the management of endometrial and cervical cancers with electronic brachytherapy. Materials and methods: An extensive literature search was performed and 9 articles were selected based on preset criteria. Results: The reviewed studies provided dosimetric and clinical results. Patient populations were diverse and prescribed doses varied. When treatment plans were compared to those using cobalt 60 ( Conclusions: All authors found that electronic brachytherapy was safe and well tolerated as higher mucosal doses did not present as adverse clinical effects. Electronic brachytherapy for gynecological cancers has the potential to achieve equivalent tumor control while minimizing bowel and urinary toxicity thus improving the quality of life. More clinical data is needed to stratify patients who would benefit the most.
