feasibility feasibility RCT feasibility RCT → feasibility RCT → feasibility RCT
shaky reasoning
✓ Unanimous Initial: feasibility RCT Requery: feasibility RCT — The study explicitly states it aims to determine the feasibility of delivering single-fraction versus multi-fraction stereotactic spine radiosurgery, with the primary outcome focused on treatment-related adverse events rather than clinical effectiveness. Thinking: feasibility RCT — The brief summary explicitly states the purpose is 'to determine the feasibility of delivering single-fraction 16-Gy versus 3-fraction 24-Gy' radiation therapy.
feasibility RCT fully powered RCT → fully powered RCT → feasibility RCT
shaky reasoning
✓ Unanimous Initial: fully powered RCT Requery: fully powered RCT — The study enrollment is 68 with clinical outcomes related to toxicity and pain response, suggesting it is designed for clinical effectiveness rather than feasibility. Thinking: feasibility RCT — Study explicitly states its aim is to determine feasibility of the two dosing schedules, and enrollment of 68 suggests a pilot-scale trial rather than a fully powered effectiveness study.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: yes — The study includes outcomes related to feasibility metrics and treatment-related adverse events/toxicity profiles that go beyond symptom/QoL assessment.

shaky reasoning
✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: yes — The trial includes outcomes related to feasibility and prediction of risk factors (toxicity) not covered by symptom/QoL/dignity/cost categories.
