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-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging significantly improved the detection of recurrent prostate cancer (PCa). However, the value of PSMA PET imaging in patients with advanced hormone-sensitive or hormone-resistant PCa is still largely unknown. The aim of this study was to analyze the detection rate and distribution of lesions using PSMA PET imaging in patients with advanced PCa and ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

methodsA total of 84 patients diagnosed with hormone-sensitive or hormone-resistant PCa who underwent

resultsWe detected PSMA-positive lesions in 94.0% (79 of 84) of all patients. In the three PSA subgroups detection rates of 85.2% (0 to < 1 ng/mL, n = 27), 97.3% (1 to < 20 ng/mL, n = 37) and 100% (> 20 ng/mL, n = 20) were observed, respectively. PSMA-positive visceral metastases were observed only in patients with a PSA > 1 ng/mL. Detection of PSMA-positive lesions did not significantly differ between patients with hormone-sensitive and hormone-resistant PCa. Oligometastatic PCa was detected in 19 of 84 patients (22.6%). Almost all patients, 94.7% (n = 18) would have been eligible for MDRT.

conclusionsIn this study, we observed an overall very high detection rate of 94% using PSMA PET imaging in patients with advanced PCa and ongoing ADT. Even in a majority of patients with very low PSA values < 1 ng/ml PSMA-positive lesions were found.
