Radiotherapy with 5 × 5 Gy for Personalized Treatment of Malignant Epidural Compression of the Myelon: Long-Term Results of the PRE-MODE Trial.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03070431 (High-precision Radiotherapy of Motor Deficits Due to Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesDespite increasing use of upfront decompressive surgery for malignant epidural compression of the myelon (MESCC), a substantial number of affected patients still receive radiotherapy (RT) alone. Many of these patients would benefit from a personalized treatment approach including the most appropriate dose-fractionation regimen. The PRE-MODE trial (NCT03070431) compared precision RT with 5 × 5 Gy (prospective cohort,
methodsFor this additional study, supplementary data were retrospectively captured, resulting in prolongation of follow-up until 24 months.
results5 × 5 Gy resulted in LPFS of 80.9% at each investigated time point (12, 18, and 24 months) without reported radiation myelopathy. Moreover, 5 × 5 Gy showed a trend towards improved LPFS after 12 (
conclusionSince 5 × 5 Gy resulted in excellent long-term LPFS and showed a trend towards better outcomes up to 24 months following RT, it appears preferable to 5 × 4 Gy and will contribute to the personalized treatment of patients with MESCC who are assigned to RT alone without upfront neurosurgical intervention.
