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

purposeWe compared the accuracy of (18)F-Choline-PET/MRI with that of multiparametric MRI (mMRI), (18)F-Choline-PET/CT, (18)F-Fluoride-PET/CT, and contrast-enhanced CT (CeCT) in detecting relapse in patients with suspected relapse of prostate cancer (PC) after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). We assessed the association between standard uptake value (SUV) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC).

methodsWe evaluated 21 patients with biochemical relapse after EBRT. Patients underwent (18)F-Choline-PET/contrast-enhanced (Ce)CT, (18)F-Fluoride-PET/CT, and mMRI. Imaging coregistration of PET and mMRI was performed.

results(18)F-Choline-PET/MRI was positive in 18/21 patients, with a detection rate (DR) of 86%. DRs of (18)F-Choline-PET/CT, CeCT, and mMRI were 76%, 43%, and 81%, respectively. In terms of DR the only significant difference was between (18)F-Choline-PET/MRI and CeCT. On lesion-based analysis, the accuracy of (18)F-Choline-PET/MRI, (18)F-Choline-PET/CT, CeCT, and mMRI was 99%, 95%, 70%, and 85%, respectively. Accuracy, sensitivity, and NPV of (18)F-Choline-PET/MRI were significantly higher than those of both mMRI and CeCT. On whole-body assessment of bone metastases, the sensitivity of (18)F-Choline-PET/CT and (18)F-Fluoride-PET/CT was significantly higher than that of CeCT. Regarding local and lymph node relapse, we found a significant inverse correlation between ADC and SUV-max.

conclusion(18)F-Choline-PET/MRI is a promising technique in detecting PC relapse.
