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

Treatment of bone metastasis using stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is being widely used in clinical practice. The reported clinical advantages of SBRT include high pain and local control rates, high response rates against bone metastasis from radio-resistant tumors, and safe re-irradiations. Although most reports in the literature use local control as the primary treatment endpoint, this endpoint is not appropriate because local control does not relate directly to patient benefit. Herein, we proposed five pathophysiology-based patient groups, as well as appropriate endpoints for each group.
