Spine stereotactic radiosurgery for metastases from hepatobiliary malignancies: patient selection using PRISM scoring.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveDose escalation via stereotactic radiation therapy techniques has been necessary for hepatobiliary malignancies in the primary and oligometastatic setting, but such dose escalation is challenging for spine metastases due to spinal cord proximity. Here, we investigate the role of spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) in the management of such metastases.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients treated with SSRS to spinal metastases from hepatobiliary malignancies between 2004 and 2017 at our Institution. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to calculate overall survival (OS) and local control (LC) and Cox regression analysis to identify factors associated with disease-related outcomes.
resultsWe identified 28 patients treated to 43 spinal metastases with SSRS for either HCC or cholangiocarcinoma. The 1-year LC and OS were 85% and 23%, respectively. The median time to death was 6.2 months, while median time to local failure was not reached. Tumor volume > 60 cc (SHR 6.65, p = 0.03) and Bilsky ≥ 1c (SHR 4.73, p = 0.05) predicted for poorer LC, while BED
conclusionSSRS provides durable local control in patients with metastatic hepatobiliary malignancies, with higher BED necessary to ensure excellent LC. PRISM scoring is a promising prognostic tool to aid SSRS patient selection.
