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

introductionWe aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 3.0-T multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in preoperative staging of prostate cancer (PCa) and its influence on the extent of resection during endoscopic radical prostatectomy (ERP) among cancer risk groups. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe data of 154 patients with PCa in whom mpMRI was performed prior to ERP between 2011 and 2015 were included. The initial decision whether to perform neurovascular bundle (NVB) sparing surgery was based on EAU guidelines. mpMRI images were reevaluated prior to prostatectomy to modify the surgical template. Imaging was compared with pathological reports to investigate the diagnostic performance of mpMRI.

resultsThe surgical template was modified in 69 (44.8%) patients after reevaluation of mpMRI. More preserving NVB sparing was attempted in 17 (11.0%) men, in whom NVB would have been resected if mpMRI had not been available. More aggressive NVB resection was performed in 52 (33.8%) men, in whom innervation would have been spared if basing solely based on guidelines. Among all PCa risk groups mpMRI had an impact on the surgical template with more aggressive surgery in 63.0% and 33.3% of men in the low- and intermediate-risk group, respectively, and more preserving in 21.4% of the high-risk patients. The change in extent of resection was not correlated with a higher risk of positive surgical margins (

conclusionsPreoperative mpMRI exerts a significant impact on decision making concerning the extent of resection during ERP irrespective of the PCa risk group.
