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

purposeThis study was designed to investigate the prognostic role of preoperative

methodsA total of 77 biopsy-confirmed PCa patients with

resultsWith a median follow-up of 25 months, 23 (29.9%) patients experienced BCR within 2 years after RP. Patients experienced BCR had a significant higher PSA at diagnosis (p<0.001), a higher ISUP grade of biopsy (p=0.044), as well as a higher ISUP grade (p=0.001), a higher possibility of T3 diseases (p=0.001) and positive margin (p=0.008) on postoperative pathology. SUV

conclusionA PSMA-ligand PET/CT-based risk model showed good efficacy in predicting 2-year BCR after RP, which needed to be validated by further prospective studies.
