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

objectiveInadequate radiation delivery to recurrent pelvic and abdominal tumors is frequently attributable to the dose limitations of surrounding normal structures, particularly the intestines. Radiotherapy guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) significantly enhances the accuracy of soft-tissue delineation. The purposes of this study were to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of MR-Linac Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy in patients with pelvic-abdominal recurrent or metastatic gynecological malignancies with or without systemic therapies.

methodsPatients with pelvic-abdominal recurrent or metastatic gynecological malignancies are eligible for MR-Linac Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy. Systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, are considered acceptable treatment options. The safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MR-Linac Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy were assessed.

resultsBetween October 2019 and May 2025, 15 patients were subjected to MR-Linac Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy. With a median follow-up period of 4.67 months (range, 0.73-20.10 months), the 6-month overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local control (LC) rates were 93.3%, 66.0%, and 92.3%, respectively. The 12-month OS, PFS, and LC rates were 83.8%, 37.7%, and 70.5%, respectively. The best objective response rate (ORR = CR + PR) for the irradiated lesions was 73.3% (11/15 patients). MR-Linac Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy led to objective responses in 73.3% (11/15) of the patients. As of the data cutoff (28 May 2025), one patient experienced dose-limiting toxicity (an enteric fistula). Another patient developed grade 4 thrombocytopenia during treatment; it was considered chemotherapy-induced.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that MR-Linac Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy is relatively effective and safe and can be an important treatment option for patients with pelvic-abdominal recurrent or metastatic gynecological malignancies. MR-Linac Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy exhibited acceptable tolerability, promising efficacy, and a favorable local control rate with regard to heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors.
