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
Background: A magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR-Linac) provides superior soft tissue contrast to evaluate inter- and intra-fraction motion and facilitate online adaptive radiation therapy (ART). We present here an unusual case of locally advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer treated with high-dose palliative ultra-hypofractionated radiation therapy on the MR-Linac with significant inter-fraction tumor regression. Case Presentation: The patient was a 65-year-old man diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer to bone and pelvic lymph nodes 7 years prior. At diagnosis, he presented with a PSA of 23 ng/ml and was commenced on a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist, achieving a PSA nadir of 4.68 ng/ml at 12 months. The patient subsequently had progressive lower urinary tract symptoms, his PSA increased to 47 ng/ml, and there was a markedly enlarged pelvic mass involving the prostate with gross extra-capsular disease and invasion into the posterior bladder wall. The patient was referred for palliative radiation to the pelvic mass due to urinary symptoms, pain, and lower limb paraesthesia. Treatment was planned to be delivered on the MR-Linac with a schedule of 36 Gy over 6 weekly factions allowing for maximal target dose delivery while minimizing surrounding organs at risk (OARs) radiation exposure. Unexpectedly, the target volume had a marked 49% (453 cc to 233 cc) reduction that was accounted for in the online adaptive process. A new reference plan was generated after 3 fractions to add sacral plexus as an OAR, previously not visible due to mass encroachment. The patient reported ongoing reduction in urinary symptoms, pelvic pain, and lower limb paresthesia by the end of treatment. Conclusion: Using daily MR-guided ART, improved visualization of the changing target and OARs ensured safe dose escalation. The unexpected positive response of the target and improved patient outcomes demonstrated the added value of the MR-Linac for online adaptive radiotherapy in this setting.
