Establishing MRI-guided prostate intervention at a UK Centre.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo describe our preliminary experience in establishing an MRI suite capable to deliver targeted prostate biopsy and cryoablation.
methodsThis article includes a description of the necessary infrastructure alterations, scanning sequence suggestions, anaesthetic advice, and practical procedural considerations. We aim to examine the anticipated issues most UK centres would encounter and offer our experience in overcoming them. During this process we will also explore some of the technical aspects of MRI-guided prostate biopsy and cryoablation.
resultsThe clinical indication, treatment rationale, intervention strategy, and initial clinical outcomes are described for our first series of patients.
conclusionMRI-guided prostate intervention provides many theoretical advantages over traditional TRUS guidance. This article demonstrates some of the complexities encountered in establishing this technique in a UK centre, and the proposed solutions. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This article gives an account of establishing the first MRI intervention suite in the UK. It demonstrates some of the logistical considerations, and offers the unit's early experience.
