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.

Abstract

purposeThe optimal timing to obtain the initial PET-PSMA imaging study when disease recurrence is suspected following RP is controversial.

methods24 subjects with new onset of BCR following RP were enrolled. The initial PET MRI (study #1) was performed within 2 months of signing informed consent. Salvage treatment was offered only if site(s) of disease recurrence were identified by study #1. A second PSMA PET MRI (study #2) was performed 1 year following Study 1, or sooner if the 6-month PSA was > 0.5 ng/ml. PET/MR was performed in a dedicated scanner which allows simultaneous acquisition of PET and MR images following the IV administration of 8 m Ci of

resultsDisease recurrence was identified in 25% and 40% of subjects by study #1 and study #2, respectively. PSA doubling time with and without disease recurrence on study #2 was 12.8 months (IQR 4.0-17.2) and 20.8 months (20.8 months (IQR 9.1-51.7), respectively (p = 0.27). PSA prior to RP but not age, pathological grade, stage margin status or time to recurrence were significantly different between subjects with and without localization of disease recurrence.

conclusionsThe 25% disease detection and localizations justify performing PSMA PET MRI imaging at the onset of BCR. If the initial PSMA PET MRI does not identify site(s) of disease, our study supports repeating a PSMA PET study when the PSA is > 0.5 ng/ml or if the PSA doubling time is < 1 year.
