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 body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as a critical therapeutic option for treating lung and other solid tumors. Two prominent high-precision SBRT techniques currently in use are four-dimensional computed tomography-guided linear accelerator-based SBRT (4DCT-SBRT) and CyberKnife. This case presents a patient diagnosed with two distinct pulmonary lesions, each treated separately using 4DCT-SBRT and CyberKnife. By comparing target delineation, dose distribution, lesion response, and the capability to spare normal tissues, we evaluate the specific advantages of CyberKnife for particular clinical scenarios.
