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

This case report describes a lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment complicated by the patient's inability to tolerate standard supine positioning, requiring simulation and delivery in the right lateral decubitus position. Five major workflow challenges were encountered involving patient positioning, 4DCT acquisition, treatment planning involving gantry‑clearance limitations, patient‑specific QA, and CBCT‑based image guidance. Customized solutions, including non-standard respiratory-surrogate placement for 4DCT, off‑center isocentering, customized limited‑arc CBCT, and measurement‑based patient-specific QA, enabled safe and effective treatment. This case highlights the need for adaptable SBRT workflows for patients unable to tolerate conventional positioning.
