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

68Gallium-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT has evolved as a pivotal imaging modality for prostatic carcinoma. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a zinc-dependent peptidase and a type II membrane protein that is expressed in prostate cancer and also tumor neovasculature of various nonprostatic malignancies. Recently, there have been many studies to demonstrate the expression of PSMA in vivo in nonprostatic malignancies like glioma, renal cell carcinoma, differentiated thyroid carcinoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, and salivary gland tumors, among others, and explore the diagnostic and therapeutic utility in these malignancies. While they have shown promising results with some even providing better imaging results than 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT, it is important to evaluate the indications where PSMA PET/CT can be utilized efficiently. We must also be mindful of the benign conditions where PSMA uptake can be observed while we analyze the scans. In this review, we have described the clinical exploration of PSMA-based PET/CT in the imaging of various cancers and potential therapeutic applications.
