Stereotactic radiotherapy for soft tissue and bone sarcomas: real-world evidence.
Article in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionSelected patients with locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue and bone sarcomas (STBS) may benefit from intensive local treatment, such as stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). This study aimed to summarize the utilization and outcomes of SRT in STBS and to identify predictive factors for progression and survival. MATERIALS AND
methodsConsecutive patients with advanced STBS who underwent STBS in a sarcoma tertiary center were identified. We collected tumor- and treatment-related factors. Endpoints comprised time to local progression (TTLP), local progression-free survival (LPFS), time to progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival (OS). The Cox proportional-hazards model was used to identify prognostic factors.
resultsWe identified 141 patients who underwent 233 SRTs. Median follow-up was 21 months. Local and distant progression occurred after 19 and 163 SRTs, respectively. SRT for lung metastases was predictive for better TTLP and LPFS (hazard ratio, HR = 0.12,
conclusionSRT provides excellent local control in STBS patients without significant toxicity. Patients with oligometastatic disease, lung metastases, and soft tissue sarcomas benefit the most from SRT. The dose escalation moderately enhances local control; however, it does not translate into better survival.
