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

purposeTo determine the value of a three-dimensional (3D) greyscale transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy system and biopsy core pre-embedding method on concordance between Gleason scores of needle biopsies and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens.

methodsRetrospective analysis of prostate biopsies and subsequent RP for PCa in the Jeroen Bosch Hospital, the Netherlands, from 2007 to 2016. Two cohorts were analysed: conventional 2D TRUS-guided biopsies and RP (2007-2013, n = 266) versus 3D TRUS-guided biopsies with pre-embedding (2013-2016, n = 129). The impact of 3D TRUS-guidance with pre-embedding on Gleason score (GS) concordance between biopsy and RP was evaluated using the κ-coefficient. Predictors of biopsy GS 6 upgrading were assessed using logistic regression models.

resultsGleason concordance was comparable between the two cohorts with a κ = 0.44 for the 3D cohort, compared to κ = 0.42 for the 2D cohort. 3D TRUS-guidance with pre-embedding, did not significantly affect the risk of biopsy GS 6 upgrading in univariate and multivariate analysis.

conclusions3D TRUS-guidance with biopsy core pre-embedding did not improve Gleason concordance. Improved detection techniques are needed for recognition of low-grade disease upgrading.
