Pulmonary oligometastases treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT): a single institution's experience.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTo investigate the effect of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) on pulmonary oligometastases and to analyze the clinical factors and dose parameters affecting local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS).
methodsThis study retrospectively enrolled a total of 84 patients (148 lesions) treated in our department from May 2015 to November 2018. Pulmonary oligometastases was defined as up to 5 metastatic lesions in the lung and with both the primary tumor and any extra-thoracic metastases being controlled. Patients receiving a BED
resultsAll patients completed the treatment as planned, and the median follow-up time was 20.3 months. The median OS for the entire group was 34.3 months, with an actuarial 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year OS of 74.7%, 59.4%, 49.7%, and 36.8%, respectively. Among the 148 lesions in the whole group, 19 (12.8%) lesions had local recurrence (LR). The median LRFS time for all patients was 56.9 months. The LRFS rate was 93.6%, 83.5%, 81.4%, and 76.6% at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years, respectively. No patient developed acute grade 3 or 4 toxicity. On univariate analysis, age ≥63 years old, primary site of colorectal cancer, BED
conclusionsSBRT is feasible for pulmonary oligometastasis with favorable local control and minimal toxicity. Multiple dose parameters, instead of a prescription dose only, in combination with clinical parameters, should be considered for optimal local control.
