Anterior spinal separation surgery to allow for stereotactic body radiotherapy: a novel approach permitting radical oncological treatment of oligometastatic disease.

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
The treatment of spinal cancers has rapidly evolved in the past decade. Often the treatment for spinal metastases required highly morbid surgeries and with palliative outcomes. However, a paradigm shift in surgical oncology has allowed spinal metastases treatment to have curative results. In the state of oligometastatic disease (OMD), the accompaniment of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as a primary modality or adjuvant treatment to surgery has been shown to excellent survival outcomes, lower morbidities and better pain management. This case report illustrates a novel approach to the treatment of spinal OMD utilizing anterior spinal separation surgery with a custom carbon fibre vertebral body replacement cage followed by postoperative SBRT with excellent radio-oncological outcomes over 30-month follow-up.
