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

Multiparametric MRI and prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) have become established imaging modalities for the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. Dual-layer spectral computed tomography (DLCT) permits retrospective material decomposition and iodine quantification, which may provide additional information regarding tissue iodine distribution and vascularity. The role of spectral CT in primary prostate cancer assessment remains incompletely characterized. We present the case of a 49-year-old man with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 140 ng/mL who underwent multiparametric MRI, PSMA PET and DLCT as part of his diagnostic workup. Dual-layer spectral CT demonstrated an irregular, approximately L-shaped region of increased iodine concentration within the prostate, with increased conspicuity on 40-keV virtual monoenergetic images (VMI). Subsequent multiparametric MRI demonstrated spatially corresponding restricted diffusion on high b-value imaging, while PSMA PET demonstrated concordant radiotracer uptake. This case illustrates concordant visualization of biopsy-proven high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma across three complementary imaging techniques: restricted diffusion on MRI, PSMA radiotracer uptake on PET, and increased iodine concentration on spectral CT. The observation supports further investigation of quantitative spectral CT parameters in prostate cancer.
