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

backgroundProstate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has demonstrated efficacy and tolerability with a dose-response effect in phase I/II trials in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The need for positive PSMA imaging before PSMA-TRT to select patients is largely practiced, but its utility is not proven. Given target heterogeneity, developing a biomarker to identify the optimal patient population remains an unmet need. The aim of this study was to assess PSMA uptake by imaging and response to PSMA-TRT.

methodsWe performed an analysis of men with mCRPC enrolled in sequential prospective phase I/II trials of PSMA-TRT. Each patient had baseline PSMA imaging by planar

results215 men with progressive mCRPC received PSMA-TRT as follows:

conclusionCollectively, the data provide evidence in favor of the hypothesis that patients with high PSMA uptake and high administered radionuclide dose correlate with a higher chance of response.
