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

purposeSurvivors of surgically managed prostate cancer may experience urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Our aim was to determine if MATERIALS AND

methodsWe prospectively enrolled 50 patients at risk for extraprostatic extension (EPE) who were scheduled for prostatectomy. After mpMRI and PSMA-PET images were read for EPE prediction, surgeons prospectively answered questionnaires based on mpMRI and PSMA-PET scans on the decision for nerve-sparing or nonnerve-sparing approach. Final whole-mount pathology was the reference standard. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and receiver operating characteristic curves were calculated and McNemar's test was used to compare imaging modalities.

resultsThe median age and PSA were 61.5 years and 7.0 ng/dL. The sensitivity for EPE along the posterior neurovascular bundle was higher for PSMA-PET than mpMRI (86% vs 57%,

conclusionsPSMA-PET scan was more sensitive than mpMRI for EPE along the neurovascular bundles and improved surgical decisions for nerve-sparing approach. Further study of PSMA-PET for surgical guidance is warranted in the unfavorable intermediate-risk or worse populations.
