Multi-institutional study using sbrt to treat mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy.
Article in Clinical & experimental metastasis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy (MHL) is a common pattern of cancer spread, particularly in lung disease. Recently, there has been interest in the use of SBRT for MHL, especially in the oligometastatic setting. The goal is to improve local control (LC) and to achieve shorter treatment durations to minimize systemic treatment interruptions. The primary endpoint of this study was local control (LC). The secondary endpoints were distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) and predictive factors of response. This is a retrospective study. It analyses a group of patients treated with SBRT for MHL with different primary tumours and histologies. From November 2007 to June 2023, we treated 159 MHL in 128 patients. The primary most represented was lung cancer. A single fraction was used in 16% of cases and multiple fractions in 84% of cases. The medium BED 10 was 75.06 Gy (range: 37-120 Gy). Actuarial LC rates at 1, 2 and 5 years were 80.0%, 78.8% and 75.2%. The actuarial DMFS rates at 1, 2 and 5 years were 43.9%, 34.1% and 14.1%, respectively. Actuarial PFS rates at 1, 2 and 5 years were 37.2%, 23.9% and 8.3%, respectively. Actuarial OS rates at 1, 2 and 5 years were 68.8%, 52.7% and 26.9%, respectively. SBRT may be an option for the treatment of MHL. In addition, achieving a complete response is one of the most important predictors of our endpoints, in addition to tumour burden and volume.
