Multiparametric MRI appearances of primary granulomatous prostatitis.
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. Cited by 18 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
objectiveRadiological features of granulomatous prostatitis (GP) overlap with those of prostate adenocarcinoma. Identification of specific GP features may aid diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate the multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) features of GP.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 16 patients from a cohort undergoing mpMRI and transperineal sector-guided prostate biopsies between July 2012 and May 2017. Images were analysed for lesion location, shape, size, extracapsular extension, signal intensity (SI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) pattern and PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System) v2 score.
resultsHistology revealed 13 cases of nonspecific GP and 3 cases of xanthogranulomatous prostatitis. GP lesions were diffuse involving > 50% of the prostate (
conclusionGP is difficult to differentiate from prostate cancer, but typically gives diffuse changes involving > 50% of the gland on mpMRI, with extracapsular extension and rim-enhancing areas. It should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with recent urinary tract infection (UTI) or prior Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Prostate MRI imaging features including diffuse changes, extracapsular extension and rim-enhancing areas, in patients with recent UTI or BCG treatment may help identify granulomatous prostatitis cases.
