Radiation Chronotherapy in Prostate Cancer: Does Time of Day of Radiation Treatment Influence Disease Outcome or Symptom Burden?
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundCircadian rhythms regulate critical cellular processes, including DNA repair and cell cycle dynamics, potentially influencing the effectiveness of radiotherapy (RT). This study evaluated whether RT timing impacts clinical outcomes and symptom burden in prostate cancer patients. PATIENTS/
methodsThis retrospective study (
resultsAcross the overall cohort, TT was not associated with FFBF or FFDM. However, in white men, earlier TTs were significantly associated with higher 5-year FFBF (89% vs. 67%,
conclusionsTT may influence clinical outcomes and symptom burden, particularly in white men. These findings underscore the potential of chronoradiotherapy as a personalized treatment strategy and highlight the need for prospective trials.
