Discrimination of local recurrence after radical prostatectomy: value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in Prostate international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundMultiparametric magnetic resonance is the most accurate imaging technique for prostate cancer detection, staging, localization, and aggressiveness evaluation. We assessed accuracy of diffusion-weighted imaging in local recurrence diagnosis after radical prostatectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study was conducted in 118 patients with findings suggestive of local recurrence in dynamic contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging. Local recurrence was defined clinically as a rising prostate-specific antigen level (biochemical recurrence) without radiographic evidence of distant metastasis over 6 months after surgery. Eighty-four patients (71.2%) had local recurrence (group 1) and 34 (28.8%) showed no recurrence (group 2). The diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted imaging was assessed, and factors associated with local recurrence were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Additional accuracy analysis was carried out according to the size of the nodule.
resultsIn post-operative findings, group 1 patients had significantly higher serum prostate-specific antigen (
conclusionsDiffusion-weighted imaging is accurate in distinguishing recurrence from enhancing nodule on dynamic contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance. Nodules showing decreased diffusion suggest local recurrence, especially if sized ≥1 cm.
