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-specific membrane antigen-direct radioligand therapy (PSMA RLT) is primarily used to treat castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) after prior treatment options have been exhausted. Occasionally, other tumor entities, such as parotid carcinoma in this case, also express prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on their cell surface. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the case of a white 67-year-old patient newly diagnosed with locally advanced PCa despite multiple cycles of Lutetium-177-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen radioligand therapy ([177Lu]Lu-PSMA-RLT), which he had received for metastatic parotid carcinoma. Interestingly, no regressive histopathological changes were found in the prostate biopsy specimen, despite given PSMA-expression in the prostate.

conclusionThe potential selection of high-grade disease, which appears to have occurred in this patient, underscores the need for further large-scale histopathological examination and thorough follow-up of the current investigational approaches using [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-RLT in high-risk prostate cancer (PCa).
