Auxetic solution for enhanced esophageal brachytherapy applicator.

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: In this study, a novel auxetic applicator equipped with four-channel catheters for esophageal brachytherapy was presented. Material and methods: The applicator, made of a new biocompatible material, has an auxetic helical structure with four channels. Details of applicator modeling, construction, commissioning, and insertion were provided. Initial Results: Simulations and dose calculations closely matched experimental measurements, validating the modeling approach. This applicator achieved highly asymmetric dose distributions. Its unique auxetic helical design allowed smooth insertion, while mitigating sequential inter-fraction hot spot formation. Conclusions:
