Dosimetric comparison of Acuros
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: The aim of this study was a retrospective dosimetric comparison of iridium-192 ( Material and methods: In this study, 59 interstitial Results: For the breast planning target volume (PTV), TG-43 formalism calculated higher D Conclusions: The TG-43 algorithm significantly overestimates the dose to PTVs and surrounding organs at risk (OARs) for breast, head and neck, and lung interstitial implants. TG-43 overestimation is in accordance with previous findings for breast and head and neck. To our knowledge, this is also exhibited for Acuros
