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: Although cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is essential for tumor positioning in image-guided radiotherapy, its diagnostic application is limited by low image quality. This report highlights a case where CBCT unexpectedly detected osteoblastic bone metastasis during radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man with recurrent prostate cancer underwent postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy of 66 Gy in 33 fractions. Two months after treatment, an increase in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels led us to perform imaging that revealed a new osteoblastic metastasis in the left acetabulum. A retrospective review of the CBCT scans obtained during radiotherapy showed progressive osteoblastic changes that were not visible on pre-treatment imaging. Conclusion: The progressive changes in osteoblastic bone metastases on CBCT highlight its potential usefulness in daily monitoring and evaluation during radiotherapy.
