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

Approximately half of all patients with cancer receive radiotherapy, which is conventionally delivered in relatively small doses (1.8-2 Gy) per daily fraction over one to two months. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), in which a high daily radiation dose is delivered in 1 to 5 fractions, has improved local control rates for several cancers. However, despite the widespread adoption of SBRT in the clinic, controversy surrounds the mechanism by which SBRT enhances local control. Some studies suggest that high doses of radiation (≥10 Gy) trigger tumor endothelial cell death, resulting in indirect killing of tumor cells through nutrient depletion. On the other hand, mathematical models predict that the high radiation dose per fraction used in SBRT increases direct tumor cell killing, suggesting that disruption of the tumor vasculature is not a critical mediator of tumor cure. Here, we review the application of genetically engineered mouse models to radiosensitize tumor cells or endothelial cells to dissect the role of these cellular targets in mediating the response of primary tumors to high-dose radiotherapy
