The role of prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/computed tomography in the management of prostate cancer patients: could we ask for more?
Review in Current opinion in urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purpose of reviewThanks to the development of novel PSMA-based peptides, molecular imaging, such as PET/CT paired with theranostic-based approaches have recently been proposed for treatment of prostate cancer. Patient selection, however, remains challenging because of the absence of strong prospective data to interpret and translate imaging scans into effective and well tolerated treatment regimens. RECENT
findingsIn this review, we discuss the latest findings in PSMA imaging in prostate cancer patients. Particularly, we go into detail into the impact of PSMA imaging on the treatment management in primary staging, biochemical recurrence and in advanced prostate cancer. SUMMARY: For primary prostate cancer staging, PSMA PET/CT seems crucial for primary therapy assessment, being able in some cases to detect lesions outside the surgical template, thus permitting a change in management. Moreover, N+ condition at PSMA has been correlated with a worse biochemical recurrence-free and therapy-free survival. The early detection of PSMA-positive findings in recurrent prostate cancer is associated with a better time to relapse survival. Similarly, for advanced prostate cancer patients, accurate restaging with PSMA imaging is gaining importance for early prediction of response to systemic therapies and to assure the best outcome possible. With regards to theranostics, appropriate selection of patients eligible for 177Lu-PSMA requires PSMA imaging, whereas the role of added FDG-PET for discriminating those with PSMA/FDG discordance needs to be further evaluated.
