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

Early detection of recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) is of paramount importance to deliver prompt and accurate therapy reducing the chance of progression to metastatic disease. However, current imaging modalities such as conventional computed tomography, MRI and PET scanning do not provide sufficient sensitivity, especially at lower prostate-specific antigen values. Moreover, biological characterization of PCa has become increasingly important to provide patient-specific therapy and current imaging poorly characterizes disease aggressiveness. The current uprise of novel PET tracers in recurrent and metastatic PCa shows promising, yet variable sensitivities and specificities in detection, indicating the need for further studies. In this review, we highlight current and new PET tracers that have been developed to improve the detection of recurrent and metastatic PCa.
