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

The diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer continue to evolve with advances in science and technology. The utilization of multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) to identify lesions in the prostate has given clinicians the ability to visualize malignancy in the prostate with greater confidence. With this new ability came the advancement of fusion biopsy platforms, which allow for direct targeting of these lesions. As with any new technology in medicine, the proper use of these modalities and how they fit into current clinical practice need to be addressed. This review summarizes the current knowledge on how to best optimize which men undergo mp-MRI and fusion biopsies both in the screening and treatment settings.
