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

objectiveTo evaluate the influence of Gamma Knife stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) on the hematological system in patients with advanced lung cancer and to assess its clinical outcomes.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 192 patients with advanced lung cancer. 108 patients who received conventional radiotherapy were included in the control group, and the rest 84 patients who received Gamma Knife SBRT were included in the experimental group. Treatment outcomes, disease progression one year after radiotherapy, blood cell counts, coagulation function, quality of survival scores, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe experimental group exhibited a significantly higher disease control rate (DCR) and objective response rate (ORR) compared to the control group (both

conclusionCompared to traditional radiotherapy, Gamma Knife SBRT has a less detrimental impact on the blood cell level, morphology, and coagulation function in patients with moderate to advanced lung cancer. It also improves patients' quality of survival with fewer adverse reactions and better disease control. These findings suggest that Gamma Knife SBRT is a promising treatment option and warrants further exploration and adoption in clinical practice.
