Advances in Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Metastatic Spinal Lesions.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Metastatic spinal disease has become increasingly common due to advances in systemic oncological therapies and the increase in the overall survival of cancer patients. Its treatment is palliative, but the meaning of this term has evolved and, today, consists of better and more effective condition control over longer periods. In the past, surgical and radiotherapy techniques, especially conventional external beam radiation therapy (cEBRT), were ineffective or morbid for controlling many types of tumors. Now, the emergence and advancement of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) drastically changed this scenario. Surgery for managing metastatic disease remains significant in radiotherapy-associated strategies, but its purpose and technique have undergone major updates. However, despite all technical advances, radiotherapy has toxicity and side effects that warrant consideration. In this article, we provide an updated review covering everything from history to innovations in treating spinal metastases, focusing on their benefits, indications, and clinical impact.
