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

Several studies have reported the efficacy and safety of hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (hSRS) in the treatment of benign perioptic tumors. This study went further and evaluated the feasibility of hSRS in the treatment of those causing compressive cranial neuropathies (CCNs) among perioptic tumors with special consideration of functional improvement. Twenty-six patients with CCNs (CN II = 19; CN III/IV/VI = 9; CN V = 3) caused by perioptic tumors underwent hSRS between 2011 and 2015. hSRS was delivered in five fractions with a median marginal dose of 27.8 Gy (≈14 Gy in a single fraction, assuming an α/β of three) to a tumor volume of 8.2 ± 8.3 cm
