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

A 66-year-old man with metastatic castration-resistant prostate adenocarcinoma experienced a rising PSA after multiple systemic therapies and radiation therapy to the cervical and thoracic spine for bone metastases. F-18 piflufolastat (Pylarify) PSMA PET/CT demonstrated widespread metastases, involving bones, lungs, mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, liver, and intracranial and intraspinal sites. He subsequently developed worsening neurological symptoms. Brain MRI fused with PSMA PET revealed numerous radiotracer-avid scattered leptomeningeal enhancing foci intracranially. Cervical spine MRI fused with PSMA PET demonstrated multifocal radiotracer-avid intradural, extramedullary enhancing lesions. Biopsy of cervical intradural lesions confirmed metastatic prostate carcinoma.
