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

purposeIn metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), some patients show low/absent PSMA expression in tumour lesions on positron emission tomography (PET) scans, indicating heterogeneity and heightened risk of non-response to PSMA-RLT (radioligand therapy). Imaging cancer-associated fibroblasts and glucose uptake may further characterise tumour heterogeneity in mCRPC patients. Here, we aimed to evaluate tumour heterogeneity and its potential implications for management in mCRPC patients assessed for PSMA-RLT using [ MATERIAL AND

methodsPatients with advanced, progressive mCRPC underwent clinical [

resultsIn ten patients, 472 lesions were detected on all imaging modalities (miTNM regions: M1b: 327 (69.3%), M1a: 95 (20.1%), N1: 26 (5.5%), M1c: 18 (3.8%), T: 5 (1.1%) and Tr: 1 (0.2%). [

conclusionThrough whole-body imaging, we identify considerable inter- and intra-patient heterogeneity of mCRPC and potential imaging phenotypes. Regarding uptake and tumour detection, [
