Novel radiotherapeutic strategies in the management of brain metastases: Challenging the dogma.
Review in Neuro-oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The role of radiation therapy in the management of brain metastasis is evolving. Advancements in machine learning techniques have improved our ability to both detect brain metastasis and our ability to contour substructures of the brain as critical organs at risk. Advanced imaging with PET tracers and magnetic resonance imaging-based artificial intelligence models can now predict tumor control and differentiate tumor progression from radiation necrosis. These advancements will help to optimize dose and fractionation for each patient's lesion based on tumor size, histology, systemic therapy, medical comorbidities/patient genetics, and tumor molecular features. This review will discuss the current state of brain directed radiation for brain metastasis. We will also discuss future directions to improve the precision of stereotactic radiosurgery and optimize whole brain radiation techniques to improve local tumor control and prevent cognitive decline without forming necrosis.
