Precision Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Spinal Tumors: Mechanism, Efficacy, and Issues.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR/SBRT) is a revolutionary technique for tumor therapy. Its advantages are especially beneficial for the treatment spinal tumors. It has a wide range of indications in radiotherapy alone and in preoperative and postoperative treatments for spinal tumor. The mechanism of stereotactic radiotherapy for spinal tumors is special, and completely different from traditional radiotherapy. Compared with traditional radiotherapy, SBRT creates more DNA double-strand breaks, leads to less DNA damage repair, and also has anti-vascular effects,
