Intensity-modulated vaginal brachytherapy applicator and single- and multi-channel applicators in vaginal cuff brachytherapy.

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 the dosimetric performance of vaginal intensity-modulated brachytherapy (IM-BRT) applicator and single- (SC-BRT) and multi-channel brachytherapy (MC-BRT) applicators for vaginal cuff brachytherapy (VC-BRT). Material and methods: Fifteen patients with uterine-confined endometrium cancer who received adjuvant VC-BRT were included in this study. IM-BRT, SC-BRT, and MC-BRT treatment plans were created for two different clinical target volume (CTV) definitions: 1. Standard CTV, called CTVs; and 2. Virtually defined CTV, called CTVv, with asymmetrical tumor extension > 5 mm in thickness. Plan comparison was performed using dose-volume histogram (DVH) and treatment planning parameters. Results: According to DVH analysis, D Conclusions: While the IM-BRT applicator is still in pre-clinical phase, our investigation demonstrated the proof-of-concept in real patient treatment plans with promising dosimetric results compared with SC-BRT and MC-BRT plans in selected patient group.
