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

Although management of advanced prostate cancer is evolving, a lot of work remains to be done for patients who have exhausted all options. Molecular targeting of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is valuable not only for diagnostic but also for therapeutic reasons. PSMA is thus considered to be useful in a theranostic approach. PSMA scans are upcoming diagnostic modalities which detect metastatic lesions that are missed by conventional imaging modalities. PSMA ligand therapy is also an upcoming treatment modality that has been proven to be beneficial with minimal toxicity in patients with advanced prostate cancer that have progressed on prior therapy. In this review article, we summarize the current knowledge regarding PSMA diagnostics and PSMA ligand therapies and discuss their implication in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
