Patient-Reported and Oncological Outcomes of Salvage Therapies for PSMA-Positive Nodal Recurrent Prostate Cancer: Real-Life Experiences and Implications for Future Trial Design.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionThe role of salvage lymph node dissection (SLND) and radiotherapy (SLNRT) in the management of nodal-only recurrent prostate cancer (PC) remains controversial. In addition, impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has not been adequately evaluated yet. MATERIALS AND
methodsAnalysis was limited to patients that were diagnosed with nodal-only recurrent PC
results138 patients (SLND: 71; SLNRT: 67) were included in the retrospective analysis. Median follow-up was 47 months (mo) for SLNRT patients (IQR 40-61), and 33mo for SLND patients (IQR 20-49; p<0.001). In total, 61 patients (91.0%) in the SLNRT cohort and 43 patients (65.2%; p<0.001) in the SLND cohort underwent ADT anytime during the follow-up period. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, SLNRT could be confirmed as an independent predictor for increased PSA progression-free survival (PFS; HR 0.08, 95%CI 0.040 - 0.142, p<0.001). Estimated median metastasis-free survival (MFS) was 70mo for the total cohort without statistically significant differences between both subgroups (p=0.216). There were no significant differences regarding general HRQOL, daily pad usage, and ICIQ-SF scores between the respective cohorts.
conclusionsIn a large contemporary series of patients with nodal-only recurrent PC based on PSMA-PET/CT staging, we observed significantly increased PSA PFS in patients undergoing SLNRT while no significant differences could be observed in MFS, and functional outcomes including HRQOL.
