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 purpose of the study was to analyze patients with vaginal-involving recurrences of gynecological tumors and primary vaginal tumors, treated with transperineal interstitial brachytherapy (P-ISBT). Dosimetric, clinical, and toxicity analysis of these patients was conducted, incorporating MRI in volume definition and dose-volume dosimetry. Material and methods: Forty-two patients were retrospectively analyzed. They were treated with radical or adjuvant intent (in hysterectomized patients with high-risk of relapse). P-ISBT was performed with MUPIT (CT-based planning) in 18 patients (42.9%) and with Template Benidorm (TB) (MRI-based planning) in 24 patients (57.1%). Results: Median age was 59 years (range, 39-78 years). Median clinical target volume (CTV) was 81.4 cc (range, 33.8-286.2 cc) in MUPIT, and 47.5 cc (range, 10-156.4 cc) in TB-treated patients ( Conclusions: MRI-based planning is superior to CT-based planning in P-ISBT. It allows for better definition of CTV, resulting in smaller and more selective treatment volumes. Our results show a tendency towards higher D
