Stereotactic body radiation therapy in non-liver colorectal metastases: a scoping review.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: In oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) represents a valid non-invasive local ablative treatment with high rates of local control (LC) and a low toxicity profile. This literature review was performed to evaluate the clinical benefit and toxicity of SBRT on non-liver metastases in CRC oligometastatic patients. Methods: After searching PubMed, Medscape and Embase databases, 18 retrospective studies focused on body oligometastases excluding bone metastases were included in the analysis. Results: A total of 1,450 patients with 3,227 lung metastases and 53 patients with 66 nodes lesions were analyzed. BED10 ranged from 76 to 180 Gy. In the lung group, the LC rate was 62-91%, 54-81% and 56-77% after 1, 3 and 5 years, respectively. In the nodes group, the 3-year LC rate was 65-75%. The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rates were 73-100%, 51-64% and 34-43%, respectively for the lung group, and 63-81% at 3 years for the nodes group. Conclusions: In CRC patients with non-liver oligometastases, the use of SBRT is effective and safe reaching high LC and survival, with few severe side effects. However, prospective randomized studies are needed to validate the results. These studies will also be useful for identifying any predictive factors that allow us to select the subgroup of patients who benefit from SBRT.
