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

introductionStereotactic radiation technique is widely reported as an effective treatment for various types of benign intracranial tumors. However, single fraction radiosurgery (SRS) is not recommended for tumors located close to the optic apparatus due to the restricted radiation tolerance dose of the optic pathway. Recent advances in radiotherapy include advanced frameless radiosurgery using hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT), and this has become an attractive treatment option for perioptic tumors within 2-3 mm of the optic pathway. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of perioptic tumors treated with HSRT using CyberKnife® (CK) robotic radiosurgery system relative to tumor control, vision preservation and toxicity.

methodsThis retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data included consecutive 100 patients that were diagnosed with and treated for perioptic tumor at the Radiosurgery center, Ramathibodi Hospital during the January 2009 to December 2012 study period.

resultsThe median tumor volume was 6.81 cm

conclusionsAlthough a longer follow-up is needed, HSRT yields a high level of local control and vision preservation, and should be considered a treatment of choice for perioptic tumor located close to the optic apparatus.
