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

Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has become integral to modern oncology, offering the ability to deliver ablative doses while minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues. Recent advancements in imaging integration, treatment planning, and dose delivery have expanded their clinical applications across various tumor types. However, challenges such as toxicity in anatomically critical regions, optimal margin determination, and the lack of standardized protocols persist. This review explores key issues in contemporary practice and highlights emerging clinical evidence across lung, liver, prostate, brain, and oligometastatic diseases. Further refinement in patient selection and treatment strategies is essential to maximize therapeutic efficacy and ensure safe implementation in broader clinical settings.
