1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study compared the outcomes of modified three-dimensional printed non-coplanar templates (3DPNCT) with those of conventional 3DPNCT for iodine-125 ( MATERIAL AND

methodsWe analyzed patients with malignant tumors undergoing

resultsA total of 70 patients were enrolled, including 35 in the experimental group and 35 in the control group. In the experimental group, pre- and post-operation values for PTV, D

conclusionsThe modified 3DPNCT improved consistency between pre- and post-operative dose parameters in comparison to the conventional 3DPNCT and showed the potential to deliver a higher dose to the tumor. This innovative 3DPNCT provides enhanced adaptability for intraoperative needle adjustments during seed implantation therapies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
