Stereotactic Radiosurgery: Fundamentals and A Historical Vignette.
Review in Cureus, 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
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a minimally invasive neurosurgical technique that allows, through the administration of high doses of ionizing radiation, the treatment of intracranial lesions. A detailed review was carried out on its historical development, from the early origins of radiological technology to the physical foundations of ionizing radiation. The evolution of the main prototypes is described, such as the Gamma Knife, adapted linear accelerator (LINAC), and the robotic CyberKnife (Accuray Inc., Madison, WI, USA), emphasizing their technical characteristics, clinical results, and indications in clinical practice. Nowadays, SRS is a valuable complement to conventional neurosurgery, offering a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of lesions in eloquent brain areas, where open surgery would involve greater risks.
