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

PURPOSE OR

objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of integrating sequential PSMA-PET imaging into an offline-online adaptive workflow for response-based dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL)-boosting high-risk prostate cancer treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). MATERIALS AND

methodsAs part of a prospective trial, patients were treated on MR- or CBCT-guided adaptive radiotherapy (ART) systems with prostate/pelvic node 5-fraction SABR (36.25 Gy/25 Gy) with DIL boost (50 Gy). Whereas traditional DIL boost volumes delineate full pre-therapy imaging-defined disease (GTVinitial), this study serially refined DIL boost volumes based on treatment response defined by PSMA-PET scans after neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (nADT, GTVmb1) and fraction 3 SABR (GTVmb2). DIL delineation employed PET-PSMA fusion to CT/MR simulation and was guided by a rule-based %SUVmax threshold approach. Comparisons of GTV volumes and OAR dosimetry were performed between plans using GTVinitial versus GTVmb1/GTVmb2 for DIL boost, for each of the initial cohorts of five patients from the initially treated cohorts.

resultsFive patients treated on MR-Linac (

conclusionPSMA-PET-guided adaptive microboosting for HRPCa SABR is feasible and effective. Standard MR-Linac and CBCT systems offer practical alternatives to BgRT platforms, enabling biology-driven dose personalization and potentially reducing toxicity.
