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

This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of [18F]PSMA-1007 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) (18F-PSMA) and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT (68Ga-PSMA) by identifying prostate-specific antigen (PSA) threshold levels for optimal detecting recurrent prostate cancer (PC) and to compare both methods. Retrospectively, the study included 264 patients. The performances of 18F-PSMA and 68Ga-PSMA in relation to the pre-scan PSA were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. 18F-PSMA showed PC-lesions in 87.5% (112/128 patients), while 68Ga-PSMA identified them in 88.9% (121/136). For 18F-PSMA biochemical recurrent (BCR) patients treated with radical prostatectomy (78/128, patient group: F-RP), a PSA of 1.08 ng/mL was found to be the optimal cut-off level for predicting positive and negative scans (AUC = 0.821; 95%, CI: 0.710−0.932), while for prostatectomized 68Ga-PSMA BCR-patients (89/136, patient group: Ga-RP), the cut-off was 1.84 ng/mL (AUC = 0.588; 95%, CI: 0.410−0.766). In patients with PSA < 1.08 ng/mL (F-RP) 76.3% and <1.84 ng/mL (Ga-RP) 78.6% scans were positive, whereas patients with PSA ≥ 1.08 ng/mL (F-RP) or 1.84 ng/mL (Ga-RP) had positive scan results in 100% and 91.5% (p < 0.001/p = 0.085). The identified PSA thresholds for PSMA-mappable PC lesions in BCR-patients (RP) showed a better separation for 18F-PSMA with regard to the distinguishing of positive and negative PC-lesions compared to 68Ga-PSMA. However, the two PSMA PET/CT tracers gave similar overall findings.
