Robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy for the management of adrenal gland metastases: a bi-institutional analysis.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeAdrenal gland metastases (AGMs) are a common manifestation of metastatic tumor spread, especially in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In patients with a limited systemic tumor burden, effective treatments for AGMs are needed. Due to varying fractionation schemes and limited reports, short-course treatment results for stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for AGMs are lacking. This work analyzes the outcomes of short-course SBRT for AGMs.
methodsPatients who underwent robotic SBRT for AGMs with one to five fractions were eligible for analysis.
resultsIn total, data from 55 patients with 72 AGMs from two institutions were analyzed. Most AGMs originated from renal cell carcinoma (38%) and NSCLC (35%). The median follow-up was 16.4 months. The median prescription dose and isodose line were 24 Gy and 70%, respectively. Most patients (85%) received SBRT with just one fraction. The median biologically effective dose assuming an α/β ratio of 10 (BED
conclusionRobotic SBRT is an efficient and safe treatment modality for AGM. Treatment-associated side effects are sporadic and manageable. Results suggest short-course SBRT to be a preferable and time-saving treatment option for the management of AGMs if an adequate BED
