Survival and Prognostic Determinants after IMRT and 3D Radiotherapy in Metachronus Bone - Only Spinal Metastasis of Breast Cancer: A Prospective Phase II Trial.
Trial report in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesOligometastasis is a distinctive subset of osseous metastatic breast cancer, represented by single or few detectable metastatic osseous lesions. A more advanced radiotherapy approach can be considered in those bone-only diseases. We analysed different predictive factors affecting the 5-year survival after palliative radiotherapy in patients with bone-only metastatic breast cancer.
methodsThis prospective multicentre phase II study included 60 breast cancer patients with metachronus osseous oligometastasis in the period from January 2019 to January 2024.
resultThe mean age of our patients was 49.55±6.39 (40-67), and the median follow-up time was 45 months. The mean survival time from metastasis and radiotherapy was 41.11 (36.33-45.89), and 49.64 (44.11-55.16), respectively. The three-year bone survival rate was 81.7% and the five-year survival rate was 79%. In the univariate analysis, the significant prognostic factors that were associated with poor OS were: age more than 50 years old, multiple metastasis, higher level of LDH , anemic patients, triple negative disease, 3D planning and dose less than 3000/10GY. Multivariate analysis confirmed 2 independent prognostic factors for longer survival: triple-positive histology (p=0.0001), and intended radiation dose more than or equal 30 Gy (p=0.028).
conclusionProlonged radiotherapy fractionation schedules improve survival in triple positive bone-only metastatic breast cancer with controlled primary. Simple blood tests should not be routinely done in those patients.
