Current status of stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy in the UK: six years of progress.
Article in BJR open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo update the 2012 UK stereotacticablative radiotherapy (SABR) Consortium survey and assess the development of SABR services across the UK over the past 6 years. Use the results to share practice and continue to drive forward technique development, aid standardization and by highlighting issues, improve access to SABR services and trials across the UK.
methodsIn January 2018, an online questionnaire was sent by the UK SABR Consortium to 65 UK radiotherapy institutions covering current service provision and collecting data on immobilization, motion management, scanning protocols, target/OAR delineation, planning, image-guidance, quality assurance and future plans.
results50 (77%) institutions responded, 38 (
conclusionThis 2018 survey shows a welcome increase in SABR provision, surpassing 2012 projections. However, it is clear that the UK SABR program needs to continue to expand to ensure that patients with oligometastatic disease have access and SABR for early stage lung cancer is available in all centres. Updated guidance that addresses variability in target delineation, image guidance and reduces patient specific quality assurance is warranted. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Documented progress of UK SABR across all treatment sites over the last six years, barriers to implementation and future plans.
