Long-Term Survival and Failure Outcomes of Single-Fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Early Stage NSCLC.
Article in JTO clinical and research reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: This study aims to report our 13-year institutional experience with single-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SF-SBRT) for early stage NSCLC. Methods: A single-institutional retrospective review of patients with biopsy-proven peripheral cT1-2N0M0 NSCLC undergoing definitive SF-SBRT between September 2008 and May 2022 was performed. All patients were treated to 27 Gy with heterogeneity corrections or 30 Gy without. Primary outcomes were overall survival and progression-free survival. Secondary outcomes included local failure, nodal failure, distant failure, and second primary lung cancer. Results: Among 263 eligible patients, the median age was 76 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 70-81 y) and median follow-up time was 27.2 months (IQR: 14.25-44.9 mo). Median tumor size was 1.9 cm (IQR: 1.4-2.6 cm), and 224 (85%) tumors were T1. There were 92 patients (35%) alive at the time of analysis with a median follow-up of 34.0 months (IQR: 16.6-50.0 mo). Two- and five-year overall survival was 65% and 26%, respectively. A total of 74 patients (28%) developed disease progression. Rates of five-year local failure, nodal failure, distant failure, and second primary lung cancer were 12.7%, 14.7%, 23.5%, and 12.0%, respectively. Conclusions: Consistent with multiple prospective randomized trials, in a large real-world retrospective cohort, SF-SBRT for peripheral early stage NSCLC was an effective treatment approach.
