Knowing When to Use Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy in Oligometastatic Cancer.
Review in Cancer management and research, 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
Oligometastatic patients are a heterogeneous and yet not well-defined population. The actual definition identifies as oligometastatic, patients with 1-5 metastases in 1-3 different organs. However, only a proportion of these patients are "true" oligometastatic and therefore derive some kinds of benefit from local ablative approaches like stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR). Since SABR is an easily accessible, effective and well-tolerated treatment, it is widely employed in the oligometastatic scenarios, without a particular focus on selection criteria. However, it should be crucial to identify predictive and prognostic features that could be clinically implemented. Therefore, we conducted this narrative review of the available literature to summarize all clinical, radiomic, genetic and epigenetic features found to be predictive of overall survival, progression-free survival or local control of oligometastatic patients treated with SABR.
