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

objectiveTo assess the local control, safety, and symptom relief of magnetic resonance-guided online adaptive stereotactic body radiation therapy (MRg-oART-SBRT) combined with systemic therapy in advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer.

methodsThis single-center, open-label, prospective trial enrolled ≥ 18-year-old patients with pathologically confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, including locally advanced, post-recurrent, and oligometastatic cases deemed unresectable via multidisciplinary evaluation. ECOG 0–2 patients with/without prior chemotherapy received 40–50 Gy/5 fractions via 1.5T MR-linear accelerator with daily online adaptive radiotherapy. Primary endpoint was 6-month local control rate; secondary endpoints included 3-month pain relief, ≥G3 gastrointestinal toxicity within 90 days, and 6-month distant progression-free survival.

resultsFrom November 2023 to December 2024, 34 patients completed MRg-oART-SBRT. With median follow-up of 12.3 months (IQR 9.0–14.4) after radiotherapy, the 6-month and 1-year local control rate were both 80.2%. Median distant progression-free survival was 9.7 months after radiotherapy. 97% reported pain relief at 3 months after radiotherapy. Acute probably radiation-related toxicity was mild (G1–2 diarrhea 18%). Thrombocytopenia (G2–3: 18%) and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (G1–2: 12%) were most common treatment-related adverse reactions.

conclusionMRg-oART-SBRT demonstrates encouraging short-term control, manageable toxicity, and survival signals in advanced pancreatic cancer. Larger multicenter trials with extended follow-up are warranted to validate long-term efficacy and clinical utility.

trial registrationThe study was registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, with the registration number ChiCTR2500096492.The retrospective registration date was January 24, 2025.
