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

objectiveGenomic characterization of metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) plays a pivotal role in guiding precision oncology. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of combining radiomics and clinical data within a machine learning (ML) framework to non-invasively predict key genomic mutations in patients with mPCa undergoing PSMA PET imaging.

methodsA retrospective cohort of 14 mPCa patients who underwent [ KEY

findingsFourteen patients with mPCa were included, and 46 lesions were analysed. Genomic alterations included mutations in TP53, TMPRSS2, PTEN, BRCA1/2, ATM, and others. Owing to data limitations, mutations other than TP53, TMPRSS2, and PTEN were grouped into a composite "OTHER" category. The best-performing clinical-radiomics ML models achieved AUCs of 91.11% (TP53), 84.44% (TMPRSS2), 80.00% (PTEN), and 77.78% (OTHER). Selected feature stability was consistent across repeated runs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Clinical-radiomics ML models based on PSMA PET imaging show promising accuracy in predicting actionable genomic alterations in mPCa. These findings support further investigation into radiogenomics modelling as a complementary, non-invasive tool to inform molecular profiling and treatment stratification.
