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

Background and objective: In patients with oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa), prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radioguided surgery (PSMA-RGS) prolongs treatment-free survival. Data on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are lacking. Methods: A retrospective assessment of validated PROMs (12-item Short Form Health Survey [SF-12], 26-item Expanded Prostate Index Composite, and Decision Regret Scale [DRS]) was performed before and after PSMA-RGS for oligorecurrent PCa. Mixed models were used. Key findings and limitations: A total of 373 patients were analyzed at a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 66 (61, 70) yr and prostate-specific antigen of 0.8 (0.4, 1.5) ng/ml. Six months after PSMA-RGS, the median (IQR) scores for the PROMs were as follows: SF-12 physical 54 (49, 56), SF-12 mental 53 (43, 56), urinary incontinence 86 (52, 100), urinary irritation 94 (88, 100), sexual 27 (9, 57), hormonal 90 (79, 100), and bowel 96 (83, 100). Only the sexual score decreased in a significant fashion from baseline over time (median [IQR], 17 [8,38]) after 3 yr vs 37 [13, 63] at baseline, Conclusions and clinical Implications: We recorded no significant decrease in quality of life or any functional status domain, except sexual. While decision regret was low, sexual functioning might deteriorate further. Patient summary: No significant deterioration in health-related quality of life was reported after removing early prostate cancer metastases. Very few patients expressed remorse about their decision for salvage surgery.
