Online adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and/or prostate hyperplasia (X-SMILE).
Observational study in Radiation oncology (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06834152 (Online Adaptive Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer in Patients With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and/or Prostate Hyperplasia), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundStereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for localized prostate cancer offers non-inferior oncological outcomes and toxicity profiles compared to conventionally or moderately hypofractioned radiotherapy regimens, with shorter treatment durations. However, SBRT may not be suitable for all patients, particularly those with lower urogenital tract symptoms and/or prostatic hyperplasia.
methodsThis study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided online adaptive SBRT in patients with intermediate to high-risk localized prostate cancer (i.e. ≤ cT3a and Gleason score ≤ 9 and PSA ≤ 20 ng/ml) who present with lower urinary tract symptoms (International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS] > 12) and/or have prostate hyperplasia (prostate volume > 60 mL). The primary outcome measure is urogenital toxicity grade ≥ 3 within 3 months after completion of SBRT (according to CTCAE V5.0) or treatment-related discontinuation. Our aim is to show an event rate of 3% below a clinically acceptable threshold which is set at 20%. Under the null hypothesis, this design with an alpha of 0.05 and power of 80% results in an expected number of cases of 30. DISCUSSION: In cases of moderate to high IPSS or significant obstructive urodynamics, a pre-emptive transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) may be beneficial. Notably, 10-20% of prostate cancer patients receiving radiotherapy patients have a history of TURP. While TURP can improve obstructive symptoms, its impact on late toxicity, particularly in SBRT, requires further investigation. To mitigate the risk of urogenital toxicity, especially in the case of patients with lower urogenital tract symptoms and/or prostatic hyperplasia, emerging approaches like MR-guided adaptive SBRT and weekly SBRT have shown promise.
