Exploring feasibility criteria for stereotactic radiosurgical treatment of multiple brain metastases using five linac machines.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 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
purposeThis study aimed to find descriptors that correlates with normal brain dose to determine the feasibility of performing fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for multiple brain metastases (BMs) using five linac machines.
methodsThirty-two patients with 1-30 BMs were enrolled. Treatment plans were created using TrueBeam, Novalis Tx, TrueBeam Edge, Halcyon, and Tomotherapy linacs. The sum of all planning target volumes (PTVs) was defined as PTV
resultsCorrelations between each characteristic and normal brain dose were statistically significant (p < 0.05) across all machines. The correlation coefficients between each characteristic and V
conclusionThis study devised fractionated SRS plans using for 1-30 BMs across five linac machines to find descriptors for determining SRS feasibility based on normal brain dose. TSA proved to be a promising descriptor of SRS feasibility for treating multiple BMs.
