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

Diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) and adequate staging play a fundamental role for clinical and patient care. Despite major advances in biology and imaging, rectal examination and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test remain the cornerstone for screening, and multiparametricmagnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) for local staging. Recent advances in mpMRI lead to standardised interpretation and increased prescription by clinicians in order to improve detection of clinically significant PCa and select patients requiring targeted biopsies. However its indication remains controversial in biopsy-naïve patients. Nuclear medicine is also in a continuous evolution and utilisation of new radiopharmaceutical agent like choline or
