Re-irradiation spine stereotactic body radiotherapy following high-dose conventional radiotherapy for metastatic epidural spinal cord compression: a retrospective study.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeWe aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of re-irradiation stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) following high-dose conventional radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-one patients met the following eligibility criteria: with an irradiation history of 50 Gy
resultsThe median age was 68, and 14 males were included. The primary tumor sites (esophagus/lung/head and neck/others) were 6/6/7/2, and the median initial radiotherapy dose was 60 Gy
conclusionRe-irradiation spine SBRT may be effective for selected patients with cervical or thoracic MESCC, even with high-dose irradiation histories. The cumulative dose assessment across the original and re-irradiated esophagus was recommended to decrease the risk of severe esophageal toxicities.
