Multilayer intensity modulated contact interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy): Stretching the therapeutic window in skin cancer.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Interventional radiotherapy (IRT, brachytherapy) is a highly effective treatment method for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Traditionally, the maximum depth of NMSC lesions considered eligible for contact IRT was 5 mm; however, following several national surveys and recent recommendations, such cut-off, lesions thicker than 5 mm may be treated by contact IRT. The use of image guidance in defining the actual depth in treating NMSC to correctly identify clinical target volume (CTV) and prevent unnecessary toxicity is of paramount importance. The aim of the paper was to describe a multilayer arrangement of catheters to treat NMSC lesions thicker than 5 mm, thus proposing an example of dynamic intensity modulated IRT, using different catheter-to-skin distance of sources to reach the best CTV coverage and maximally reduce the excess of dose to the skin.
