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

purposeProstate cancer is most common tumor in men causing significant patient mortality and morbidity. In newer diagnostic/therapeutic agents PSMA linked ones are specifically important. Analysis of textural heterogeneity parameters is associated with determination of innately aggressive and therapy resistant cell lines thus emphasizing their importance in therapy planning. The objective of current study was to assess predictive ability of tumor textural heterogeneity parameters from baseline

resultsEntropy showed a negative correlation (r

conclusionsStudy showed potential for response prediction through baseline PET scan using textural features. It suggested that increase in heterogeneity of PSMA expression seems to be associated with an increased response to PSMA radionuclide therapy. MATERIALS AND

methodsRetrospective analysis of 70 patients was performed. All patients had metastatic prostate cancer and were planned to undergo
