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

Recent research has proposed using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) along with the administration of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting radiopharmaceuticals to identify breast cancer (BC) lesions. An extensive literature review to investigate the possible diagnostic utility of PET/CT with PSMA-targeting radiopharmaceuticals in BC patients was performed. The research comprised different clinical scenarios, including both newly diagnosed BC patients and those who had experienced disease relapse. This updated systematic review encompassed six studies investigating the diagnostic efficacy of PSMA-targeted PET/CT in BC. Throughout all clinical settings investigated, the papers presented data demonstrating a modest diagnostic performance of PSMA-targeted PET/CT in different subtypes of BC. In this setting, PSMA-guided PET/CT showed slightly higher accuracy in patients diagnosed with triple-negative BC. Based on the current literature, PSMA-targeted PET/CT cannot be suggested as a diagnostic tool to assess BC extent in any clinical scenario. However, based on the PSMA expression observed in triple-negative patients, it can be proposed as a tool to evaluate whether BC patients could benefit from PSMA-targeting radioligand therapy.
