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.

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.

Abstract

purposePSMA PET offers the potential for improved local staging prior to radical prostatectomy (RP). We evaluated PSMA PET versus mpMRI for local and nodal staging for patients with localized NCCN high or very high risk prostate cancer undergoing RP.

methodsA prospective single center pilot study was conducted from 9/2018 to 6/2022. Patients underwent both mpMRI and

resultsAt RP, 79% (38/48) had EPE, 31% had SVI, and 31% had LNI. At the patient level for EPE, PSMA PET had similar sensitivity (65.8% vs. 84.2%, respectively, P = 0.07) but higher specificity (80% vs. 40%, P = 0.045) compared to mpMRI, respectively. For SVI, PSMA PET had lower sensitivity (62.5% vs. 87.5%, P = 0.046) and similar specificity (87.5% vs. 90.6%, P = 0.56). For side-specific LNI, PSMA PET had higher sensitivity (50% vs. 25%, P = 0.03) and similar specificity (96.1% vs. 94.7%, P = 0.71) compared to mpMRI.

conclusionPSMA PET offers higher specificity for EPE and higher sensitivity for LNI compared to mpMRI. PSMA PET may improve overall surgical planning, and may be combined with diagnostic mpMRI and clinicopathological variables through nomograms to further predict EPE, SVI, or LNI. CLINICAL
