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

backgroundPSMA PET/CT emerges as a pivotal technology in the diagnostic landscape of prostate cancer (PCa). It offers a suite of imaging interpretation criteria, notably the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), the molecular imaging prostate-specific membrane antigen score (miPSMA score), and the PSMA reporting and data system (PSMA-RADS). Identifying the most valuable criteria for diagnosing PCa and standardizing imaging interpretation across various tracers is an unresolved question. Our study endeavors to pinpoint the most optimal criteria to enhance the precision of PCa diagnosis, encompassing clinically significant PCa (csPCa), by evaluating the consistency and diagnostic accuracy of these three criteria using two [

methodThis retrospective analysis spans a five-year period, focusing on patients with clinically suspected or newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve PCa who underwent

results1.Our head-to-head study reveals that SUVmax and miPSMA score exhibit near-perfect consistency, with PSMA-RADS demonstrating substantial consistency. 2. The diagnostic accuracy ranking, considering both PCa and csPCa, stands as miPSMA score ≈ SUVmax > PSMA-RADS for [

conclusionThe miPSMA score outperforms SUVmax and PSMA-RADS in terms of inter-tracer consistency and diagnostic accuracy for the detection of PCa, including csPCa, when comparing [ CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: not applicable.
