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

purposeThis study investigated the interfractional volume changes of large (≥ 10 cm

methodsThe patients who underwent FGKRS for large BMs between January 2017 and December 2022 in our center were reviewed. The interfractional volume change was defined as the disparity in tumor volume (TV) measured between the magnetic resonance images acquired on the first treatment day and those obtained after 2 or 3 fractions during the course of FGKRS.

resultsA total of 73 lesions in 70 patients with various primary pathologies were included. Over a median follow-up period of 11 months (range 1-77), the tumor control rate was 63%. Initial TV (cm

conclusionInterfractional volume changes of large BMs were not found to be associated with tumor control outcomes. Neither significant interfractional volume reduction nor significant volume increase necessarily predicts the tumor control, making early close monitoring essential after FGKRS.
