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

Over the past decade, prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) has revolutionized prostate cancer (PCa) imaging, offering greater sensitivity and specificity compared to conventional imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, and bone scintigraphy. PSMA-PET is particularly valuable in staging newly diagnosed patients with intermediate- and high-risk disease, detecting biochemical recurrence, and evaluating metastatic cases. By utilizing radiotracers that accumulate specifically in PSMA-expressing cells, even small metastases can be detected, offering a detailed assessment of cancer extent and enabling more targeted diagnostic evaluations. Among the most utilized radiotracers, [
