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

Purpose: We retrospectively investigated spatial pattern associations between primary and recurrent tumor sites after definitive external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for prostate cancer, using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted probe, Methods and Materials: We used data from our prior phase 2 trial involving patients who received PET/CT with Results: Twelve patients had local recurrence detected by PSMA-PET/CT. The median time to diagnosis of local recurrence was 9.1 (range, 2.2-12.3) years after definitive EBRT. The recurrent tumor was detected at the same location in 25.0%, and a partial overlap was noted in 41.7%. Conclusions: Local intraprostatic recurrence after definitive EBRT often occurs at the same site or at a partially overlapping site adjacent to the primary intraprostatic dominant lesion. Our results support the merit of focal dose-escalation for intraprostatic dominant lesions in definitive EBRT.
