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

Real-time adaptive motion management is critical for delivering precise stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to lung tumors while sparing adjacent organs-at-risk. This case report describes the successful application of the CyberKnife Synchrony™ Respiratory Tracking System (Accuray Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) in a patient with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A 70-year-old male with an NSCLC lesion in the left upper lobe underwent SBRT with real-time fiducial-free tracking. The total prescribed dose was 48 Gy in four fractions. Post-treatment imaging confirmed local control with no acute toxicity. This report highlights the clinical feasibility of CyberKnife®-based real-time adaptive motion management for lung SBRT. These practical insights are valuable for centers adopting this technology.
