Dose escalation in extracranial stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (DESTROY-1): A multiarm Phase I trial.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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: A multiarm Phase I clinical trial was performed to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivered by non-coplanar conformal beams or volumetric modulated arc therapy technique in seven predefined clinical settings.
methods: The (a) and (b) arms investigated primary and metastatic lung cancer differentiated by site of onset, arm (c) included primary or metastatic lesions outside the thorax, the (d) and (e) arms were for in-field reirradiation of recurrence, and finally, the (f) and (g) arms were for boost irradiation to the lesions after an adjuvant RT prescribed dose. A 4 months cut-off after previous irradiation course was fixed to distinguish the boost from the retreatment (<4 vs >4 months, respectively). Patients were prospectively enrolled in study arms according to tumor site, clinical stage and previous treatment. The total dose prescribed to the isocenter, ranged from 20 to 50 Gy according to the protocol design and the doses per fraction ranged from 4 to 10 Gy in 5 days.
results: A total of 281 patients (M/F: 167/114; median age: 69 years) with 376 lesions underwent SBRT. No acute toxicity was reported in 175 patients (62.3%) while 106 (37.7%) experienced only low-grade (G < 2) acute toxicity. Four patients (all previously irradiated in the same site) showed >Grade 2 toxicity within 6 months from SBRT. With a median follow-up of 19 months, 204 patients (72.6%) did not experience late toxicity, and 77 (27.4%) experienced low grade late toxicity. On per-lesion basis, the 12-and 24 months actuarial local control inside the SBRT field were 84.3 and 73.7 %, respectively.
conclusions: SBRT delivered in five consecutive fractions up to the doses evaluated is well tolerated. The MTD was reached in four (a, b, c and f) of the seven study arms. Recruitment for (d), (e) and (g) arms is still ongoing. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE:: In a prospective dose-escalation trial, the MTD of 50 Gy/10 Gy fraction and 35 Gy/7 Gy fraction were defined for primary and metastatic lesions and as boost after prior RT dose ≤50 Gy, respectively.
