Trial report in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03537391 (Imaging for Prostate Cancer Metastasis Detection - Traditional Imaging), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.

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

purposeTo prospectively compare the ability of

methodsMen with newly diagnosed unfavourable intermediate or high-risk PCa underwent

results19 patients with 39 intraprostatic lesions in histopathology were included. The overall lesion detection rates for PET/CT were 84.6% and 82.1% for two independent readers, compared to 74.4% and 46.2% for MRI readers. The detection rates of index lesions were 94.7% for PET/CT and 74.0-84.0% for MRI, whereas those of non-index lesions were 70.0-75.0% for PET/CT and 20.0-65.0% for MRI. For detecting EPE, AUC values were 0.500-0.591 for PET/CT and 0.648-0.682 for MRI. For detecting SVI, AUC values ranged from 0.629 to 0.700 across both modalities. SUVmax showed a weak correlation with immunohistochemical expression of PSMA multiplied by lesion diameter (Spearman's ρ = 0.427, p = 0.013). Lesion diameters measured using 30% and 40% of SUVmax, as well as prostate SUVbackground x2, showed the closest agreement with histopathological measurements.
