Nodal recurrence patterns on PET/CT after RTOG-based nodal radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Article in Clinical and translational radiation oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeBiochemical failure after external beam radiotherapy (RT) for node-positive prostate cancer (PC METHODS AND MATERIALS: Data of all patients treated with curative intent EBRT for PC
results42 patients received PSMA (28) or choline (14) PET/CT at biochemical recurrence. 35 patients (83%) had a positive scan. At their first positive scan 17 patients had nodal metastasis, in some cases together with a local recurrence or distant disease. In-field nodal recurrences were uncommon (n = 3). Out-field nodal recurrences occurred more frequently (n = 14), with the majority (n = 12) just above the elective nodal field. These nodes were the single area of detectable failure in 6 patients (14%).
