Targeting Lung Cancer Cell Motility Using Microbeam Radiation Therapy.
Article in Cells, 2026. 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
Radiotherapy (RT) is currently among the standard treatments for lung cancer. However, in vitro studies have revealed that irradiation can increase lung cancer cell motility. This way, RT could potentially enhance the malignancy of solid tumors post-treatment, promoting metastasis. Therefore, there is a continued need to continue evolving RT modalities into safer and more effective treatments. The present study compares the impact of the broad beam (BB) and the spatially fractionated modality of microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) on the motility of A549 lung cancer cells. Our data corroborates previous findings that showed BB irradiation is a promoter of cell motility. For MRT, however, we observed a prevention of cellular migration. A significant reduction in
