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

purposeWe compared the local control rate and toxicity of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) versus wedge resection for colorectal pulmonary metastases. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed medical charts and imaging of patients treated with SABR or wedge resection between 2010 and 2017 at a single institution.

resultsA total of 404 patients were treated with local therapy for 528 pulmonary metastatic lesions. While surgery was frequently used upfront for smaller, solitary metastases without other site involvement, SABR was often used for larger, multiple lesions and disease burdens beyond the lungs. The 3-year local control rate was 88.6% following surgery, which was not significantly different from that with SABR at 86.7% (p=0.174). No major postoperative complications or mortality were observed in the surgery group, and 2.8% of patients in the SABR group experienced grade 3-4 radiation pneumonitis.

conclusionSABR was used in patients with a higher risk of progression compared to those undergoing surgery, yet it has similar local control rates to wedge resection.
