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

The clinical integration of prostate membrane specific antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) scans represents potential for advanced data analysis techniques in prostate cancer (PC) prognostication. Among these tools is the use of radiomics, a computer-based method of extracting and quantitatively analyzing subvisual features in medical imaging. Within this context, the present review seeks to summarize the current literature on the use of PSMA PET/CT-derived radiomics in PC risk stratification. A stepwise literature search of publications from 2017 to 2023 was performed. Of 23 articles on PSMA PET/CT-derived prostate radiomics, PC diagnosis, prediction of biopsy Gleason score (GS), prediction of adverse pathology, and treatment outcomes were the primary endpoints of 4 (17.4%), 5 (21.7%), 7 (30.4%), and 7 (30.4%) studies, respectively. In predicting PC diagnosis, PSMA PET/CT-derived models performed well, with receiver operator characteristic curve area under the curve (ROC-AUC) values of 0.85-0.925. Similarly, in the prediction of biopsy and surgical pathology results, ROC-AUC values had ranges of 0.719-0.84 and 0.84-0.95, respectively. Finally, prediction of recurrence, progression, or survival following treatment was explored in nine studies, with ROC-AUC ranging 0.698-0.90. Of the 23 studies included in this review, 2 (8.7%) included external validation. While explorations of PSMA PET/CT-derived radiomic models are immature in follow-up and experience, these results represent great potential for future investigation and exploration. Prior to consideration for clinical use, however, rigorous validation in feature reproducibility and biologic validation of radiomic signatures must be prioritized.
