Long-term survival in a patient with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer treated with multiple courses of salvage stereotactic radiation after whole brain radiotherapy: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Intracranial recurrence following initial cranial irradiation for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) can often be a treatment dilemma given the aggressive nature of the disease, the overall poor prognosis and concerns regarding re-treatment toxicity. The present report describes the case of a 62-year-old man diagnosed with ES-SCLC and synchronous brain metastases who initially underwent whole brain radiotherapy, chemotherapy and consolidative thoracic radiotherapy. The patient was found to have a solitary intracranial recurrence at both 3.5 and 6 years after his diagnosis. On both occasions, the patient received salvage stereotactic radiation, 30 Gy in 5 fractions, and continues to remain functionally independent. Overall, the present case demonstrates that with the appropriate patient selection, aggressive local salvage of recurrent intracranial ES-SCLC with stereotactic radiation can yield excellent and durable clinical outcomes.
