Radiobiological evaluation considering the treatment time with stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases.
Article in BJR open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: We evaluated the radiobiological effect of the irradiation time with the interruption time of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using CyberKnife Methods: We used the DICOM data and irradiation log file of the 10 patients with brain metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent brain SRS. We defined the treatment time as the sum of the dose-delivery time and the interruption time during irradiations, and we used a microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM) to evaluate the radiobiological effects of the treatment time. The biological parameters, Results: The mean values of D95 (%), RCI, and PCI for GTV Conclusion: The radiobiological effect of the treatment time on tumors was accurately evaluated with brain SRS using CK. Advances in knowledge: There has been no published investigation of the radiobiological impact of the longer treatment time with multiple interruptions of SRS using a CK on the target dose distribution in a comparison with the use of a linac. Radiobiological dose assessment that takes into account treatment time in the physical dose in this study may allow more accurate dose assessment in SRS for metastatic brain tumors using CK.
