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

backgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is biologically heterogeneous, requiring management strategies that balance oncologic benefit with preservation of quality of life. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has emerged as a key theranostic biomarker enabling highly sensitive molecular imaging and targeted therapy. PURPOSE: The present manuscript aims to summarize the clinical role of PSMA-PET/CT in PCa across staging, treatment selection, and response assessment, with a special focus on its contribution to personalized management. KEY

findingsPSMA-PET/CT demonstrates superior accuracy compared with conventional imaging, frequently leading to stage migration and changes in therapeutic strategy. It improves detection of metastatic and recurrent disease, guides selection for systemic and PSMA-targeted therapies, and supports metastasis-directed treatment in oligometastatic settings, potentially delaying androgen-deprivation therapy and preserving quality of life. Additionally, PSMA-PET enhances intra-prostatic lesion delineation for focal therapies and radiotherapy planning. Limitations include reduced sensitivity for very small lesions, possible false positives, variability among tracers, and issues related to access and standardization.

conclusionsPSMA-PET/CT is a cornerstone of precision imaging in PCa, enabling more individualized treatment decisions across the disease continuum. Ongoing studies will further define its long-term clinical impact and integration into routine care.
