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.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate the safety, feasibility, and patient-reported outcomes of magnetic resonance-guided simultaneous multi-focal adaptive radiotherapy for the prostate, pelvis, and metastases (MRgSMART-PEM) in patients with high-risk, very-high-risk, or oligometastatic prostate cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this prospective single-arm phase II study, 35 patients with pathologically confirmed prostate cancer (11 localized, 8 pelvic nodal, 16 oligometastatic) were treated with MRgSMART-PEM on a 1.5-T MR-Linac between June 2021 and March 2025. Radiotherapy was delivered in five alternate-day fractions using an Adapt-to-Shape workflow. The primary endpoint was clinician-reported acute grade ≥ 2 genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity within 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints included late toxicity, quality of life (QoL), and survival outcomes.

resultsMedian follow-up was 17.2 months (range, 4.3–49.3). The median on-couch time was 59 min (range, 35–80). Acute grade ≥ 2 GU and GI toxicities occurred in 5.7% of patients each, including one grade 3 GI event; all resolved within 8 weeks. No late grade ≥ 2 toxicities were observed, and no grade 1 events persisted beyond 18 months. QoL scores declined at 2 weeks post-treatment but returned to baseline by 3 months. At 2 years, biochemical and clinical progression-free survival rates were both 87.4%, and in-field control was 100%.

conclusionsMRgSMART-PEM is feasible, safe, and well tolerated in patients with high-risk, very-high-risk, and oligometastatic prostate cancer, achieving excellent local control with minimal toxicity and recovery of QoL. These results support further evaluation of MRgSMART-PEM in randomized trials.
