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 multifocal. However, there often exists a single dominant focus in the gland responsible for driving the biology of the disease. Dose escalation to the dominant lesion is a proposed strategy to increase tumor control. We applied radiobiological modeling to evaluate the dosimetric feasibility and benefit of dominant intraprostatic lesion simultaneous in-field boosts (DIL-SIB) to the gross tumor volume (GTV), defined using a novel molecular positron emission tomography (PET) probe (18F-DCFPyL) directed against prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Patients with clinically localized, biopsy-proven prostate cancer underwent preoperative [

resultsComparative DIL-SIB plans for 6 men were generated from preoperative [

conclusionsPSMA PET provides a novel approach to define GTV for SIB-DIL dose escalation. Work is ongoing to validate PSMA PET-delineated GTV through correlation to coregistered postprostatectomy digitized histopathology.
