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

Context: Identifying malignant tissue and leaving adjacent structures undisturbed constitute an ongoing challenge in prostate cancer (PCa) surgery. Image and radioguided surgical technologies targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor may facilitate identification and removal of diseased tissue. Objective: To perform a systematic review of the clinical studies on PSMA-targeted surgery. Evidence acquisition: The MEDLINE (OvidSP), Embase.com, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Identified reports were critically appraised according to the Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term framework criteria. The risk of bias (RoB) was assessed as per the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies-of Interventions tool. The strengths and limitations of the techniques and corresponding oncological outcomes were extracted as areas of interest. Data were reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Evidence synthesis: In total, 29 reports were selected, including eight prospective studies, 12 retrospective analyses, and nine case reports, all with a high or an unclear RoB. In 72.4% of studies, PSMA targeting was achieved via radioguided surgery (RGS), predominantly using Conclusions: In PSMA-targeted surgery, most studies address salvage PSMA-RGS using Patient summary: In this paper, we review recent advances in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted surgery, which is used to help identify and remove prostate cancer. We found good evidence to suggest that PSMA targeting helps identify prostate cancer during surgery. The oncological benefits have yet to be investigated further.
