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

purposeF-fluciclovine is a synthetic amino acid radiotracer that has recently been approved in Europe and the United States for PET imaging in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer after prior definitive treatment. Accurate identification of the sites of disease in patients presenting with BCR of prostate cancer is important in determining the appropriate treatment. Bone is the most frequent site of metastatic disease in patients with prostate cancer.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive review of the available preclinical and clinical data on the diagnostic performance of F-fluciclovine PET/CT in an attempt to draw practical and general conclusions on the utility and limitations of F-fluciclovine PET/CT in localization of osseous metastatic disease in prostate cancer.

resultsThe cumulative preclinical data and results of some retrospective and 2 prospective clinical studies suggest that F-fluciclovine can detect early bone marrow involvement in patients with BCR of prostate cancer and negative prior bone-specific imaging findings.

conclusionsF-fluciclovine PET/CT seems to offer useful information for early detection of bone metastases in men with BCR of prostate cancer. Additional investigations will be needed to compare the diagnostic performance of F-fluciclovine PET/CT to other standard and novel imaging methods in initial staging, BCR, and castrate-resistant phases of disease.
