Survival outcomes with Lutetium-177-PSMA-617 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patient according to baseline tumor characteristics.
Article in World journal of urology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
purposeTo investigate cancer-control outcomes in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients receiving Lutetium-177 Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-617 (Lu-177-PSMA) radioligand therapy according to initial baseline tumor characteristics.
methodsWe relied on the FRAMCAP (FRAnkfurt Metastatic Cancer Database of the Prostate) database to assess progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients receiving Lu-177-PSMA as first to seventh mCRPC therapy line, according to initial time of metastasis (synchronous vs. metachronous), tumor grading (Gleason score [GS] 6-7 vs. 8-10) and M-stage (M1a vs. M1b vs. M1c) at initial metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Kaplan-Meier curve analyses and multivariable Cox regression models were applied; multivariable models are additionally adjusted for ECOG status and line of Lu-177-PSMA therapy (1-2 L vs. 3 L vs. 4-7 L).
resultsOf 344 Lu-177-PSMA mCRPC patients, 198 (58%) had synchronous vs. 146 (42%) metachronous mHSPC, 87 (29%) vs. 107 (62%) GS 6-7 vs. 8-10 and 15 (10%) vs. 121 (81%) vs. 13 (9%) M1a vs. M1b vs. M1c mHSPC disease. No significant differences were observed in PFS (12.1 vs. 13.0 months) or OS (14.9 vs. 18.3 months) between synchronous and metachronous patients (both p > = 0.09), or in PFS (12.9 vs. 11.8 months) and OS (21.4 vs. 15.1 months) between GS 6-7 and GS 8-10 (both p > = 0.3). M-stage-stratified analyses showed an OS difference (17.9 vs. 17.7 vs. 9.0 months for M1a vs. M1b vs. M1c, p = 0.01), but not for PFS (11.9 vs. 9.5 vs. 8.2 months, p = 0.08). After multivariable adjustment including ECOG status and treatment line, initial timing of metastasis, GS, and M-stage were not independently associated with PFS or OS. However, later treatment line was independently associated with worse OS (3 L vs. 1-2 L: HR 2.40, 95% CI 1.14-5.04, p = 0.021; 4-7 L vs. 1-2 L: HR 4.01, 95% CI 1.83-8.80, p < 0.001) as well as worse ECOG status (1-2 vs. 0: HR 2,60, 95% CI 1.38-4,91, p = 0.003).
conclusionIn this real-world cohort of mCRPC patients treated with Lu-177-PSMA, initial timing of metastatic disease, Gleason score, and M-stage were not independently associated with PFS or OS after multivariable adjustment including ECOG status and treatment line. These observational findings should not be interpreted as evidence of equivalent treatment efficacy across subgroups.
