HyperArc Automated Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Enables Accurate a Priori Fractionation Scheme Selection via Adherence to HyTEC Toxicity Thresholds.

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
Purpose: Radiosurgery plan safety is commonly estimated by volumes receiving specific doses (ie, 12 Gy/1 fraction [fx]), which are evaluated postplan generation. However, automated treatment planning can produce highly consistent and thus predictable plans. Thus, we hypothesized that HyperArc (HA) automated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) planning enables clinical decision-making prior to plan generation, such as selecting the appropriate SRS fractionation scheme. Methods and Materials: All previously treated single-isocenter HA plans at our institution were queried, totaling 3361 marginless targets without bridging at the 50% isodose level (1495 plans), making this the largest single-institutional SRS dosimetry study to the authors' knowledge. Eight isodose volumes (IDVs; 50.00%-97.60%) were calculated for all HA targets, each corresponding to the ratio of a High Dose per Fraction, Hypofractionated Treatment Effects in the Clinic (HyTEC) brain toxicity dose level and a common prescription dose (eg, 50.00% = 12 Gy/24 Gy). Power law relationships of IDV and target volume ( Results: Models resulted in high R² values when applied to the validation cohort (≥0.982), allowing targets to be classified as either above or below the HyTEC thresholds (IDV = 5 cm Conclusion: The resulting models enabled accurate and precise prediction of target volumes/diameters, resulting in 3.6%, 4.8%, and 8.6% brain grade 1 to 3 toxicity rates, according to HyTEC toxicity estimates. Leveraging relative IDVs rather than prescription doses enabled all 3361 targets to be used for modeling 9 common SRS prescriptions (1 fx: 24 Gy, 20 Gy, 18 Gy, 16 Gy, and 15 Gy; 3 fx: 27 Gy and 24 Gy; 5 fx: 30 Gy and 25 Gy), enabling clinicians to estimate brain toxicity a priori via an open-source calculator.
