Prostate-specific membrane antigen-based imaging for stereotactic irradiation of low-volume progressive prostate cancer: a single-center experience.

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
Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a transmembrane protein that may be expressed on the surface of prostate cancer (PC) cells. It enables a more sensitive and specific diagnosis PC, compared to conventional anatomical imaging. Aim: The integration of PSMA-based imaging in the personalized radiotherapy of PC patients and the evaluation of its impact on target volume definition if stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is planned for locally recurrent or oligometastatic disease. Patients and methods: The data from 363 examinations were analyzed retrospectively. Inclusion criteria were histologically verified PC and clinical data suggesting local recurrence or distant metastasis. Whole-body Results: From 363 PSMA isotope-based examinations, 84 lesions of 64 patients were treated with SBRT. In 50 patients, 70 lesions were examined for intermodality comparison. The target volume defined by the PSMA density was significantly smaller than the tumor size defined by the TCT scan: GTV Conclusion: PSMA-based imaging is a promising diagnostic method for specifying the stage and detecting the low-volume progression. Our results suggest that PSMA-based hybrid imaging can influence treatment decisions and target volume delineation for SBRT.
