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

backgroundWe present preliminary data of the first older cancer patients treated with Hybrid Linac for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) consisting of 1.5 T MRI-guided and daily-adapted treatment. The aim was to assess feasibility, safety and the role of G8 and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) questionnaires in predicting patients' QoL, evaluated by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

methodsTwo groups of patients with localized prostate cancer or abdominal-pelvic oligometastases were analyzed. SBRT schedule consisted of 35 Gy delivered in 5 fractions. The primary endpoint was to measure the impact of G8 and CCI on PROMs. Both G8 and the CCI were performed at baseline, while the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) for PROMs assessment was prospectively performed at baseline and after SBRT.

resultsForty older patients were analyzed. The median age was 73 years (range 65-85). For the entire population, the median G8 score was 15 (10-17) and the median CCI score was 6 (4-11). Concerning the PROMS, the EORTC-QLQ C30 questionnaire reported no difference between the pre- and post-SBRT evaluation in all patients, except for the fatigue item that declined after SBRT, especially in the group of patients with a G8 score < 15 and with age < 75 years (p = 0.049). No grade 3 or higher acute toxicity occurred.

conclusionThis is the first report documenting for older cancer patients that 1.5 T MRI-guided daily-adapted SBRT is feasible, safe and does not impact on the QoL at the end of treatment. Longer follow-up is advocated to report long-term outcomes.
