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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate treatment outcomes with associated prognostic factors, and to guide treatment strategies in colorectal cancer patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 74 colorectal cancer patients who received SBRT for 113 lesions (88 lung, 19 liver, and 6 lymph node). Each OMD was considered a separate case for patients repeatedly diagnosed with OMD. The log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards model were used to assess prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS).

resultsA total of 84 cases were analyzed. The median follow-up period was 32.2 months (range, 8.2 to 89.3 months). The 2-year PFS, widespread failure-free survival (WSFFS), and overall survival (OS) rates were 35.1%, 67.4%, and 80.8%, respectively. In the multivariable analysis, oligometastatic status (repeat/induced vs. de novo; hazard ratio [HR], 2.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.40 to 5.04; p = 0.003) and planning target volume (PTV) volume (17.6 vs. <17.6 cm3; HR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.09 to 3.62; p = 0.025) were significant prognostic factors for PFS. Cases with two risk factors for PFS demonstrated significantly worse OS and WSFFS (p < 0.05), whereas those with one risk factor did not show a significant difference compared to cases with no risk factors.

conclusionSBRT for oligometastatic colorectal cancer showed favorable clinical outcomes. Oligometastatic status and PTV volume were significantly associated with PFS. Risk stratification based on the number of poor prognostic factors of PFS may help guide treatment strategies for colorectal cancer patients with OMD.
