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

purposeMetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains a therapeutic challenge. Radioligand therapy (RLT) with

methodsThis prospective, single arm, monocentre, Phase-II study enrolled PSMA-avid mCRPC patients (April 2017-October 2022). Patients received 5.5 GBq of

resultsForty-eight patients were assessed for safety; 44 were evaluable for efficacy. A ≥ 50% PSA decline occurred in 22 patients (50%). At 12 months, PFS was 22.7% (95% CI: 11.8-35.9) and OS 87.9% (95% CI: 73.4-94.8); median OS was 18.8 months. Treatment was generally well tolerated, with mostly Grade 1-2 events. Grade 3 toxicities were rare (6.3%), and no Grade 4 events occurred. One Grade 3 hyponatraemia led to discontinuation.
