Comparative analysis of dosimetric and radiobiological models of IPSA and HIPO algorithms in combined intra-cavitary/interstitial brachytherapy for cervical cancer.

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: To compare inverse planning simulated annealing (IPSA) and hybrid inverse planning optimization (HIPO) using dosimetric and radiobiological models, and provide a basis for selecting the optimization method for cervical cancer. Material and methods: This was a retrospective study including 32 patients with radical cervical cancer. Brachytherapy treatment plans were re-optimized using IPSA, HIPO1 (with a locked uterine tube), and HIPO2 (with an unlocked uterine tube). Dosimetric data, including isodose lines, HR-CTV (D Results: Compared with IPSA and HIPO2, HIPO1 had better V Conclusions: Although the dosimetric parameters of IPSA, HIPO1, and HIPO2 are comparable, HIPO2 provides better dose conformability and lower NTCP. Therefore, HIPO2 is recommended as an optimization algorithm in IC/ISBT for cervical cancer.
