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
Background: Despite advances in systemic therapy, survival in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains poor. The utility of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), allowing dose escalation to achieve improved local control has risen in the treatment of mCRC. However, local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) varies widely between studies, and prognostic factors are not well defined. Methods: We retrospectively assessed LC and OS in patients with mCRC treated with SBRT/SRS between 2014 and 2022. Results: 124 Patients were treated during the study period. Median follow up was 16.4 months (0.2-93.1 months). There were 310 lesions treated with 53% located in the brain, 22% lung, 16% liver, 4% bone, 4% nodal and 1% other. Biologically effective dose (BED10) ranged from 33.6 to 151.2 Gy.LC was 75% (95% CI 67-81%) at 1 year and 65% (95%CI 56-73%) 2 years. On multivariable analysis (MVA), older age (HR 1.04, Conclusion: This study demonstrates that SBRT and SRS offer effective local control, and LC is associated with tumour volume.
