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

Molecular imaging is a key tool in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Magnetic Resonance (MR) plays a major role in this respect with nuclear medicine imaging, particularly, Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-based, (PSMA-based) positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) also playing a major role of rapidly increasing importance. Another key technology finding growing application across medicine and specifically in molecular imaging is the use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). Several authoritative reviews are available of the role of MR-based molecular imaging with a sparsity of reviews of the role of PET/CT. This review will focus on the use of AI for molecular imaging for PCa. It will aim to achieve two goals: firstly, to give the reader an introduction to the AI technologies available, and secondly, to provide an overview of AI applied to PET/CT in PCa. The clinical applications include diagnosis, staging, target volume definition for treatment planning, outcome prediction and outcome monitoring. ML and AL techniques discussed include radiomics, convolutional neural networks (CNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN) and training methods: supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised learning.
