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

objectiveTo assess the utility of 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MRI in initial staging of intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer (HRPCa).

methodsA total of 46 patients with pathologically verified intermediate and/or HRPCa who underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MRI with dedicated pelvic high-resolution multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) were included.

resultsPET/MRI showed 100% sensitivity (SN), specificity (SP), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy in detecting seminal vesicle (SV) and rectal invasion, versus 87.5%, 100%, 100% 93.8%, 95.7% and 50%, 100%,100%, 95.5%, and 95.7% for mpMRI respectively. However, PET/MRI had poor SN (40% and 0%) but high SP (94.4% and 100%) in detection of UB and neurovascular bundle (NV) invasion compared to 100% SN and SP for mpMRI. PET/MRI demonstrated stronger TNM staging agreement with the gold standard than mpMRI-WBMRI. It demonstrated concordance with T, N, and M stages in 40, 41, and 36 patients (k 0.84, 0.60, and 0.68, respectively) versus 29, 33, and 31 patients (k 0.54, 0.22, and 0.50) with accurate over all staging of 38/46 patients versus 30/46 patients (K 0.52 versus 0.22).

conclusion18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MRI is a promising imaging modality with high diagnostic accuracy in staging intermediate- and HRPCa; it improves local tumour evaluation and provides precise TNM staging. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MRI could have high diagnostic accuracy as shown in the current study for staging HRPCa patients that is crucial for treatment selection. We think that our study will contribute to the body of knowledge and improve the literature surrounding the clinical uses of integrated 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/MRI.
