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

objectivesTo determine whether the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2) helps predict biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer (PCa).

methodsWe included 158 patients with PCa who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radical prostatectomy (RP). Clinical (prostate-specific antigen, greatest percentage of core, and percentage of positive core number), PI-RADSv2 score on MRI, and surgical parameters (Gleason score, extracapsular extension, seminal vesicle invasion, and tumour volume) were investigated. Univariate and multivariate analyses using Cox's proportional hazards model were performed to assess parameters predictive of BCR (two consecutive prostate specific antigens ≥0.2 ng/ml). Kaplan-Meier survival curves were analyzed.

resultsThe rate of BCR was 13.3 % (21/158) after surgery (median follow-up, 25 months; range, 12-36). No subject with a PI-RADS score <4 had BCR. In univariate analysis, all parameters were significant for BCR (p < 0.05), except seminal vesicle invasion (p = 0.254). Meanwhile, PI-RADS score was the only independent parameter for BCR in multivariate analysis (p < 0.05). Two-year, BCR-free survival post-RP was significantly lower for PI-RADS ≥4 (84.7-85.5 %) than for PI-RADS <4 (100 %; p < 0.05).

conclusionAs a preoperative imaging tool, PI-RADSv2 may be useful to predict BCR after radical prostatectomy for PCa. KEY POINTS: • No subject with PI-RADS <4 had BCR after RP • PI-RADSv2 was the only predictor of BCR in multivariate analysis • Two-year, BCR-free survival following RP was lower for PI-RADS≥4 than for PI-RADS<4 • Inter-rater agreement was good for PI-RADS ≥4 or not.
