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

Introduction: Celiac plexus radioablation (CPR) is an emerging non-invasive interventional treatment for severe pain associated with cancer-related damage to the celiac plexus. Due to its complex aetiology, such pain often responds poorly to conventional analgesics, and high doses of these medications can cause toxicity. Celiac plexus radiosurgery employs advanced radiotherapy techniques to administer a high single dose of 25 Gy to the anatomically defined celiac plexus, aiming to reduce pain intensity and enhance patients' quality of life. Material and methods: The safety and efficacy of CPR have been validated in a prospective single-arm clinical trial that included 125 patients. Results: The positive outcomes of this trial led to the integration of CPR into pain management guidelines; however, the novel approach to radiotherapy planning might be initially challenging to grasp. Conclusions: In this article, we provide a brief overview of the method along with a comprehensive, Polish and English-language guide on how to perform CPR and manage patients, based on our clinical experience.
