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
Hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy treatments (SBRT) have demonstrated impressive results for the treatment of a variety of solid tumors. The role of tumor supporting vasculature damage in treatment outcome for SBRT has been intensely debated and studied. Fast, non-invasive, longitudinal assessments of tumor vasculature would allow for thorough investigations of vascular changes correlated with SBRT treatment response. In this paper, we present a novel theranostic system which incorporates a fluorescence molecular imager into a commercial, preclinical, microCT-guided, irradiator and was designed to quantify tumor vascular response (TVR) to targeted radiotherapy. This system overcomes the limitations of single-timepoint imaging modalities by longitudinally assessing spatiotemporal differences in intravenously-injected ICG kinetics in tumors before and after high-dose radiation. Changes in ICG kinetics were rapidly quantified by principle component (PC) analysis before and two days after 10 Gy targeted tumor irradiation. A classifier algorithm based on PC data clustering identified pixels with TVR. Results show that two days after treatment, a significant delay in ICG clearance as measured by exponential decay (40.5±16.1% P=0.0405 Paired t-test n=4) was observed. Changes in the mean normalized first and second PC feature pixel values (PC1 & PC2) were found (P=0.0559, 0.0432 paired t-test), suggesting PC based analysis accurately detects changes in ICG kinetics. The PC based classification algorithm yielded spatially-resolved TVR maps. Our first-of-its-kind theranostic system, allowing automated assessment of TVR to SBRT, will be used to better understand the role of tumor perfusion in metastasis and local control.
