Intracranial chordoma: radiosurgery, hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy and treatment outcomes.
Article in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to assess the results of stereotactic radiosurgery and hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRS/SRT) for skull base chordomas. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-three patients aged 12-75 were treated with SRS/SRT due to skull base chordoma. In 19 patients SRS/SRT was a part of the primary therapy, while in 4, a part of the treatment of recurrence. In 4 patients SRS/SRT was used as a boost after conventional radiotherapy and in 19 cases it was the only irradiation method applied. Patients were irradiated to total dose of 6-35 Gy and median total equivalent dose of 52 Gy.
resultsDuring median follow-up of 39 months, 4 patients died. One-, two- and five-year OS was 95%, 89% and 69%, respectively. In nine patients, progression of the disease was diagnosed during study period. One-, two- and five-year progression free survival (PFS) from the end of radiotherapy was 81%, 59% and 43%, respectively. Radiotherapy was well tolerated and only two patients in our group experienced moderate treatment-related toxicity.
conclusionSRS/SRT alone or in combination with surgery is a safe and effective method of irradiation of patients with skull base chordomas. High EQD
