1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare and highly aggressive soft tissue tumor that predominantly affects the abdominal and pelvic regions of adolescent males. This case report presents our clinical experience of treating a 33-year-old male with multifocal peritoneal DSRCT using fan beam computed tomography-guided adaptive radiotherapy (FBCT-gART). The patient presented with abdominal pain and was diagnosed with DSRCT following imaging and biopsy. Despite initial treatment with surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, the patient experienced multifocal peritoneal recurrence. Due to the considerable mobility of the abdominal tumors and the associated risks to adjacent critical organs, the patient underwent daily online FBCT-gART. The prescribed dose regimen was 54 Gy delivered in 27 fractions at 2 Gy per fraction; however, the patient ultimately received only 25 treatments for personal reasons. This case report evaluates the technical workflow of using FBCT-gART for DSRCT and discusses its dosimetric advantages over non-adaptive radiotherapy.
