Study on the relationship between vaginal dose and radiation-induced vaginal injury following cervical cancer radiotherapy, and model development.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: This study investigates the relationship between vaginal radiation dose and radiation-induced vaginal injury in cervical cancer patients, with the aim of developing a risk prediction model to support personalized treatment strategies. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 66 cervical cancer patients treated between December 2022 and December 2023. The Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) was employed for data augmentation. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify key factors influencing radiation-induced vaginal injury, and five distinct algorithms were applied to develop predictive models. The AUC/ROC metric was used to assess the performance of the models. Results: Univariate analysis revealed significant associations between the posterior-inferior border of the symphysis (PIBS) point dose and brachytherapy dose with radiation-induced vaginal injury ( Conclusion: The developed predictive model can assess the risk of radiation-induced vaginal injury, thereby facilitating the development of individualized radiotherapy plans.
