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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) using Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2.0 (PI-RADSv2) definitions in detecting organ-confined prostate cancer.

methodsAll patients who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 1, 2014 and December 30, 2014 were identified. All underwent mp-MRI within 180 days before surgery. Those with prior pelvic irradiation or androgen deprivation therapy were excluded. Fully embedded, whole-mount histopathology was centrally reviewed and correlated with imaging for tumour location, Gleason score (GS) and stage.

resultsThere were 39 patients included, of which 35 (90%) had mp-MRI done post-biopsy. A total of 93 cancer foci were identified on whole-mount pathology, of which mp-MRI detected 63 (68%). Of those detected by mp-MRI, 14 were PI-RADS 3 (

conclusionIn this predominantly post-biopsy cohort, mp-MRI using PI-RADSv2 reporting has a reasonably high diagnostic accuracy in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer.
