Intraoperative radiotherapy IORT applicators for treatment of small skin lesions a phantom and planning study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radiation therapy is actively utilized for superficial lesions. External beam radiotherapy for cutaneous lesions utilizes electrons with low transmittance. Conventional electron beam therapy uses Cerrobend blocks for field shaping; however, the Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) applicator offers superior dosimetric characteristics. The dosimetric parameters were measured using 4 and 6 MeV electron beams delivered by a Trilogy linear accelerator, and percent depth dose and lateral dose profiles were compared under the presence of the IORT applicator and Cerrobend block. The dose calculations under various IORT applicator conditions and planning studies were performed using Monte Carlo simulation. Treatment plans for three sites were evaluated in terms of coverage of the planning target volume, dose to the surrounding normal tissue, and beam-on time for two treatment modalities. The results of the measured and calculated dosimetric parameters correspond. Scattered electrons along the IORT applicators resulted in shorter d
