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

purposeWe analysed our initial experience with SBRT in liver metastasis from colorectal cancer at our institution. MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween January/2014 and December/2017, 22 patients with 31 LMCCR were treated. Local control (LC) was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. We analysed potential prognostic factors for LC: sex, PTV size, number of LM and the radiation scheme.

resultsMedian age: 69 years. Prior chemotherapy or local liver treatments: 81.8% and 63.6% of patients, respectively. SBRT consisted of 3 × 20 Gy (42.9%) and 3 × 15 Gy (31.4%). There were 88.5% responses (57.1% CR and 31.4% PR). Median follow-up was 30 months. LC per lesion at 12 and 24 months was 85.3% and 61.8%, respectively. Tumour volumes > 30 cc correlated with worsened 2-year-control rates (90% vs 34.5%) (p = 0.005). There was only a patient with CTC-grade 3 toxicity.

conclusionsLiver SBRT is a safe and effective treatment that achieves high local control rates. We found a significant correlation between larger LMCRC and worse local control.
