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

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed on the membrane of most prostate cancer cells and to a lesser extent in normal tissues. Many vectors targeting this protein have been created over the past decade and numerous clinical studies have positively demonstrated the tolerance and efficacy of radiolabeled prostate-specific membrane antigen ligands for PSMA radioligand therapy (PRLT). Preliminary results are encouraging that PRLT will become an important addition to the current therapeutic options in a number of settings. Improvement in radiopharmaceutical targeting and combination with other oncological agents are under investigation to further improve its therapeutic efficacy. These encouraging results have led to the development of other therapies using PSMA as a target, such as PSMA-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, PSMA-targeted antibody drug conjugates, and PSMA-targeted bi-specific T-cell-directed therapy. This narrative review details the current state and advancements in prostate-specific membrane antigen targeting in prostate cancer treatment.
