Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in a Transplanted Lung for a Primary Lung Cancer: Case Report.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Lung cancer in the transplanted organ is an extremely rare occurrence with very few cases reported. The use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for medically inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer is an option to treat an early stage lung adenocarcinoma on a transplanted lung. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with a history of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, who underwent a right lung transplant in 2010 and developed pulmonary adenocarcinoma, stage IA2, in 2023. The patient was ineligible for surgical management and was referred for SBRT. The treatment was administered with a total dose of 48 Gy in 4 fractions in December 2023. The nodule remained stable at 9-month follow-up, with post-radiogenic pneumonitis observed. Pulmonary function remained stable after treatment. Conclusions: This case shows that SBRT on a transplanted lung cancer seems to be safe, even maintaining a standard SBRT fractionation, with good early local control. Careful consideration of dose, fractionation, and potential toxicities is essential in managing these complex cases, always in close cooperation with the transplant medical team.
