  1. In all studies, the cut-off for fPSM was the same as in our study (single margin ≤ 3 mm), except for Porpiglia et al.a (≤2.8 mm)
  2. NR not reported, HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, fPSM focal positive surgical margin, ePSM extensive positive surgical margin, PSA prostate-specific antigen
