Efficient and accurate stereotactic radiotherapy using flattening filter free beams and HexaPOD robotic tables.

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
Flattening filter free (FFF) high dose rate beam technique was introduced for brain stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and lung Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). Furthermore, a HexaPOD treatment table was introduced for the brain SRS to enable correction of rotational setup errors. 19 filter flattened (FF) and 57 FFF brain SRS treatments, as well as 451 FF and 294 FFF lung SBRT treatments were evaluated to assess differences in intrafractional motion (IFM) between FF and FFF treatments. For brain SRS the accuracy of rotational corrections was assessed as well. For SRS the treatment time was reduced by 21%, and for SBRT the treatment time was reduced by 25%. However, only for SBRT the IFM was significantly reduced, from 1.9 mm to 1.6 mm. For brain SRS, table correction in 6D greatly improves patient setup precision observed as a reduction in mean residual rotational setup error from 0.3° (SD1.2°) to 0.06° (SD 0.3°).
