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.
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
introductionProstate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT) represents the upcoming standard for the staging of prostate cancer (PCa). However, there is still an unmet need for the validation of PSMA PET/CT at primary staging and consecutive histological correlation. Consequently, we decided to analyze the prediction parameter of PSMA PET/CT at primary staging.
methodsWe relied on 90 ≥ intermediate-risk PCa patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) and extended pelvic lymph node dissection. All patients were administered to
resultsSensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV per-patient were: 43.8, 96.0, 70.0, and 88.8%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV per-pelvic-side were: 42.9, 95.6, 56.3, and 92.7%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV per-anatomic-region were: 47.6, 98.9, 66.7, and 97.5%, respectively.
