How 3 Academic Centers Prescribe Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Primary Lung Cancer.
Article in Practical radiation oncology. 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
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is commonly used to treat early-stage, node-negative primary lung cancer, but society guidelines provide limited information regarding several technical aspects of SBRT, leading to potential variation in practice. In this report, we present the technical details used by 3 academic institutions when treating a solitary primary lung tumor up to 5 cm in dimension with curative-intent SBRT. We provide specifications outlined in major active or recently completed clinical trials. Among the participating institutions, we discovered multiple divergences in treatment parameters, including, but not limited to, prescription dose and desired degree of heterogeneity within the target volume. It is unclear to what extent these differences in parameters might affect tumor control or toxicity, but updated consensus guidelines addressing the relevant SBRT prescription details may help standardize practice patterns.
