An exploratory analysis of MR-guided fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy in patients with brain metastases.
Article in Clinical and translational radiation oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: To assess the feasibility and potential benefits of online adaptive MR-guided fractionated stereotatic radiotherapy (FSRT) in patients with brain metastases (BMs). Methods and materials: Twenty-eight consecutive patients with BMs were treated with FSRT of 30 Gy in 5 fractions on the 1.5 T MR-Linac. The FSRT fractions employed daily MR scans and the contours were utilized to create each adapted plan. The brain lesions and perilesional edema were delineated on MR images of pre-treatment simulation (Fx0) and all fractions (Fx1, Fx2, Fx3, Fx4 and Fx5) to evaluate the inter-fractional changes. These changes were quantified using absolute/relative volume, Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and Hausdorff distance (HD) metrics. Planning target volume (PTV) coverage and organ at risk (OAR) constraints were used to compare non-adaptive and adaptive plans. Results: A total of 28 patients with 88 lesions were evaluated, and 23 patients (23/28, 82.1%) had primary lung adenocarcinoma. Significant tumor volume reduction had been found during FSRT compared to Fx0 for all 88 lesions (median -0.75%, -5.33%, -9.32%, -17.96% and -27.73% at Fx1, Fx2, Fx3, Fx4 and Fx5, Conclusions: Significant inter-fractional tumor changes could be found during FSRT in patients with BMs treated on the 1.5 T MR-Linac. Daily MR-guided re-optimization of treatment plans showed dosimetric benefit in patients with perilesional edema or multiple lesions.
