A review of surface guidance in extracranial stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT/SABR) for set-up and intra-fraction motion management.
Article in Technical innovations & patient support in radiation oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06443632 (WASPE Sleep Adjustment for Children Aged 0-4 Years Undergoing Radiation Therapy), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
introductionSurface guidance (SG) radiotherapy (RT) is now used by many radiotherapy departments globally and has expanded in popularity over the last number of years. A number of commercial systems are available. SG has routinely been used and is well established for cranial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) patient set ups and intra-fraction motion monitoring.However, data is limited in relation to its clinical use for extracranial stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), particularly for targets which are impacted by respiratory motion such as the lung and liver. OBJECTIVE & INFORMATION SOURCE: A review of available literature was carried out on 24th October 2021 to assess the clinical feasibility and use of SG in SBRT via PubMed.
methods
resultsThe 4 studies indicate positive results for using SG with sufficient image guidance (IG) for both patient set up and intra-fraction monitoring during SBRT. This was observed both in free breathing and in patients with respiratory motion management being employed such as deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) techniques. All used multiple IGRT solutions to verify localisation pre-treatment in conjunction with SG.
conclusionSG can be used for SBRT set-ups and intra-fraction motion monitoring once sufficient IG is used to verify target localisation for treatment.
