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

purposeAlthough treatment planning and individualized dose application for emerging prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) are generally recommended, it is still difficult to implement in practice at the moment. In this study, we aimed to prove the concept of pretherapeutic prediction of dosimetry based on imaging and laboratory measurements before the RLT treatment.

methodsTwenty-three patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with

resultsAn optimal machine learning method achieved a dosimetry prediction MAPE of 15.8 ± 13.2% for the kidney, 29.6% ± 13.7% for the liver, 23.8% ± 13.1% for the salivary glands, and 32.1 ± 31.4% for the spleen. In contrast, the prediction based on literature population mean has significantly larger MAPE (p < 0.01), 25.5 ± 17.3% for the kidney, 139.1% ± 111.5% for the liver, 67.0 ± 58.3% for the salivary glands, and 54.1 ± 215.3% for the spleen.

conclusionThe preliminary results confirmed the feasibility of pretherapeutic estimation of treatment dosimetry and its added value to empirical population-based estimation. The exploration of dose prediction may support the implementation of treatment planning for RLT.
