Hepatocellular carcinoma effective stereotactic body radiotherapy using Gold Anchor and the Synchrony system: Two case reports and review of literature.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRadiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered to have limited efficacy because of treatment intensity considering that the irradiated area includes the liver, which is highly radiosensitive. In this report, we present two cases in which tumor control by surgical resection, radiofrequency ablation, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and lenvatinib administration was difficult, but stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using the Synchrony system by Radixact™ and Gold Anchor CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old man had a single 10-cm HCC in the right lobe. Viable lesions remained after TACE, and levels of alpha-fetoprotein and protein induced by vitamin K antagonists II (PIVKA-II) decreased and quickly re-elevated. We performed SBRT with GA. Three weeks after implantation, localized radiotherapy (SBRT; 40 Gy/5 fractions) was performed using the Synchrony system by Radixact™. Four weeks later, the viable lesion had disappeared, and the PIVKA-II levels decreased. A 77-year-old man had a single 12-cm HCC in the right lobe. The patient experienced recurrence after hepatectomy. Further recurrence occurred after TACE, and we performed SBRT with GA. Because of the proximity of the HCC to the gastrointestinal tract, localized radiotherapy (SBRT; 39 Gy/13 fractions) to the HCC was performed 3 wk after implantation using the Synchrony system by Radixact™. Four weeks later, the viable lesion had disappeared on computed tomography, and the PIVKA-Ⅱ levels decreased.
conclusionSBRT using the Synchrony system and GA can deliver a large dose accurately and safely, and could have a high therapeutic effect.
