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

Background: This study investigates the impact of voxel size on dose calculations for the FlexiSource iridium-192 ( Materials and methods: TG-43 parameters (radial function and anisotropy function) were calculated using 0.5 mm Results: The measured air-kerma strength per unit source activity differed by 2.34% from consensus data. Radial function analysis showed consistent results, with 0.5 mm Conclusions: These findings validate the TOPAS Monte Carlo code's accuracy for dose calculation and emphasize the importance of voxel size selection. The generated dataset shows promise for future research efforts in brachytherapy dose calculations.
