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

purposeDespite the approval of 177Lu-PSMA-617 as standard treatment for patients with mCRPC, at least 50% of patients do not respond to the therapy, especially those with visceral disease. This study analyzes real-world outcomes of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T used in heavily pretreated patients in Brazil.

methodsRetrospective analysis of patients with mCRPC previously treated with at least one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) who underwent 177Lu-PSMA-I&T between 2020 and 2025 in two large oncology centers. Our primary endpoint was prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate of 50% or more (PSA50). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and time to next sequential therapies (TNST). Statistical analyses were performed in JAMOVI and RStudio.

resultsForty-three patients were included, with median age 74 years and median baseline PSA 41 ng/mL. Prior to 177Lu-PSMA-I&T, 86% received more than one ARPI line and 23.3% underwent more than one taxane-based chemotherapy. Visceral disease was present in 41.9%. The overall PSA50 response for all patients was 44.2% and for patients with visceral disease was 33.3%. Median OS was 13.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 10.9-19.2] and 12-month survival was 55.5% [95% CI 42.1%-73.3%]. Out of the 24 patients who received subsequent therapies, median TNST was 2.9 months [95% CI 1.6-5.4].

conclusionsOur results showed that 177Lu-PSMA-I&T achieved a PSA response comparable to those treated with 177Lu-PSMA-617 in randomized trials, despite our heavily treated patients' characteristics. A significant number of patients had visceral disease with expected lower PSA response, highlighting the need for more active combinations in this subgroup.
