Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy as single treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer: A single institution analysis.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundStereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is the current standard-of-care in cases of inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC). This study aimed to assess the survival outcomes and recurrence patterns after SABR for ES-NSCLC in a hospital setting.
methodsA single-institution retrospective study was performed which included 109 patients who had undergone SABR. The main study endpoints were overall survival (OS), cancer specific survival (CSS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), regional recurrence free survival (RRFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). Univariate and multivariate analysis were conducted to explore the potential factors which might be related to patient survival.
resultsA total of 109 patients were enrolled into the study. Median follow-up was 44 months (range: 2-93 months). (i) Recurrence results: Among 45 patients with recurrence, 30 patients (28%) had distant metastasis (DM), 17 patients (16%) had local recurrence (LR), 10 patients (9%) had regional recurrence (RR) of lymph nodes and two patients (2%) had second primary lung cancer (SPLC). (ii) Survival results: Median OS, CSS, PFS was 78 months, 78 and 40 months. Two-year OS, CSS, PFS, LRFS, RRFS and DMFS was 84.7%, 87.1%, 69.2%, 86.8%, 92.7% and 78.0%, respectively. Four-year OS, CSS, PFS, LRFS, RRFS and DMFS was 55.6%, 60.7%, 37.3%, 76.3%, 88.4% and 59.4%, respectively. (iii) Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that age was a prognostic factor of CSS in patients aged <75 years (P = 0.04 HR 2.12 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-4.33).
conclusionsAlthough high survival rates can be achieved in ES-NSCLC patients treated with SABR, using SABR on its own may not be enough. Prolonged surveillance and adjuvant therapy is therefore needed.
