Palliative stereotactic body radiotherapy for spinal and non-spinal bone metastases: combining tradition and innovation.
Review in International journal of clinical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Bone metastases can cause pain, fractures, radiculopathy, and metastatic epidural spinal cord compression, all of which substantially impair patients' quality of life. Conventional external beam radiotherapy (cEBRT) has been the standard treatment for symptomatic bone metastases. While the effectiveness and safety of cEBRT are well established, it has certain limitations, including a short duration of pain relief, limited long-term tumor control, and suboptimal efficacy against radioresistant tumors. Over the past decade, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been explored as a palliative treatment for bone metastases. SBRT enables the delivery of high doses of radiation to bone lesions by maximizing dose conformality. This treatment characteristic yields several clinical advantages, including considerable pain relief, durable tumor control, and efficacy against radioresistant tumors. SBRT has the potential to overcome the limitations of cEBRT and represents a promising approach that could revolutionize the treatment of bone metastases. This review addresses three clinical scenarios: painful spinal metastases, painful non-spinal bone metastases, and metastatic epidural spinal cord compression. For each scenario, we summarized the evidence for cEBRT and SBRT, highlighting the utility and potential of SBRT as an emerging treatment option.
