Evaluation of the Effect of Radiosurgery for Target and Non-Target Lesions in Patients with Brain Metastases Using RANO-BM Criteria.

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
objectivesThe current therapeutic indications of radiosurgery are constantly expanding. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has an important role in the diagnostic and post-therapeutic period of primary and secondary brain tumor formations.
methodsA total of 66 patients with verified cancer disease and brain metastases were separated into two groups. The first group includes 34 patients with primary non-small cell lung cancer and the second one 32 patients with other types of primary cancer. All of them received high-dose radiotherapy in 1-5 fractions. The number, size, and location of the treated lesions responded to robotic stereotactic radiosurgery criteria. The Response Assessment Criteria for Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) is an international multidisciplinary group of experts who developed acceptable criteria for assessing brain metastases. Before treatment and on the first, third, sixth month after radiosurgery, a MRI and blood tests were performed.
resultsTreated lesions were separated into four groups depending on the results - complete response, partial response, progressive disease, and stable disease. In both groups of patients, the percentage of complete or partial response had increased in the third and sixth months.
conclusionThe results give us a reason not to recommend an MRI 1 month after treatment if the patient doesn't have any new neurological symptoms, because there may be a pseudo-progression. MRI results valued by RANO-BM criteria give us a good option to evaluate brain metastases on the third and sixth month after after stereotactic radiosurgery.
