1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThree-dimensional (3D) imaging has an important role in brachytherapy and the treatment of cervical cancer. The main imaging methods used in the cervical cancer brachytherapy include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computer tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), and positron emission tomography (PET). However, single-imaging methods have certain limitations compared to multi-imaging. The application of multi-imaging can make up for the shortcomings and provide a more suitable imaging selection for brachytherapy. PURPOSE: This review details the situation and scope of existing multi-imaging combination methods in cervical cancer brachytherapy and provides a reference for medical institutions. MATERIALS AND

methodsSearched the literature related to application of three-dimensional multi-imaging combination in brachytherapy of cervical cancer in PubMed/Medline and Web of Science electronic databases. Summarized the existing combined imaging methods and the application of each method in cervical cancer brachytherapy.

conclusionThe current imaging combination methods mainly include MRI/CT, US/CT, MRI/US, and MRI/PET. The combination of two imaging tools can be used for applicator implantation guidance, applicator reconstruction, target and organs at risk (OAR) contouring, dose optimization, prognosis evaluation, etc., which provides a more suitable imaging choice for brachytherapy.
