Real-world Israeli single institution experience with PET-PSMA for staging of patients with clinically staged localized prostate carcinoma.
Trial report in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2021. 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
backgroundA recent prospective trial, the proPSMA study, showed superior specificity and sensitivity of Positron emission tomography (PET) - Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) imaging compared standard Computerized tomography (CT) and bone scan for staging of recently diagnosed high-risk local prostate carcinoma for curative intent treatment.
aimTo share our experience with false-positive PET PSMA scans in newly diagnosed intermediate-risk prostate cancer. METHODS AND
resultsHere, we report a series of eight patients who underwent systemic staging using PET-PSMA with false-positive results who were ultimately treated with definitive radiation or surgery. Of the eight patients, two patients were diagnosed with favorable intermediate disease, four with unfavorable intermediate risk, and two with high-risk disease. Seven of eight were shown to have false-positive bone uptake, one patient had uptake in lung nodules. Three patients underwent bone biopsy and proven benign. The rest of the patients were proven as non-metastatic radiologically by repeat PSMA, CT, or Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). All subsequently preceded to definitive localized treatment and remain disease free as of this study.
conclusionThis study emphasizes the importance of prudent clinical judgment when utilizing this highly sensitive imaging technique.
