The role of a template-assisted cognitive transperineal prostate biopsy technique in patients with benign transrectal prostate biopsies: a preliminary experience.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionUrologists are commonly facing the dilemma of elevating prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels despite a series of negative prostate biopsy results. Although fusion biopsies are being used increasingly, they are not available in many centers. We evaluated the prostate cancer detection rate using transperineal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) template-guided cognitive biopsy. MATERIAL AND
methodsTwenty-two patients with a suspicious lesion on MRI were enrolled into this study and underwent a repeated biopsy. All procedures were done under anesthesia and with antibiotic prophylaxis. Brachytherapy template was applied in each case.
resultsThe median age, PSA and prostate volume were 67 years, 9.2 ng/ml, and 65 ml, respectively. The average number of biopsy cores was 24. Nine patients (41%) were diagnosed with prostate cancer. The grade distribution was Gleason score 7 for 5 patients, and Gleason score 6 for 4 patients. No major complications occurred.
conclusionsTransperineal MRI template-guided cognitive prostate biopsy appears to be a safe procedure, which helps to detect significant cancer. The biopsy-associated adverse events are negligible.
