Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging ultrasound-guided fusion biopsy during active surveillance: A single-centre study.

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
objectiveTo analyse the role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) ultrasound (US)-guided fusion biopsy (FB) in patients with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) under active surveillance (AS). PATIENTS AND
methodsOur retrospective study included 47 patients under AS who consecutively underwent both FB and standard biopsy (SB), from May 2015 until November 2017. We defined FB as a transrectal US-guided biopsy based on mpMRI. The primary endpoint was to assess the rate of concordance between FB and SB in terms of diagnostic yield, as well as the rate of Gleason Score upgrading/downgrading between the two techniques. Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ) was applied to test the concordance between FB and SB.
resultsThe median (interquartile range [IQR]) follow-up was 20 (13-37) months. The median (IQR) number of cores taken was 13 (12-14) at SB and 4 (4-6) at FB. Overall, FB missed 12/47 (26%) PCa diagnoses compared to SB. There was concordance between SB and FB in 64% of the patients. The
conclusionIn our present study, FB showed no superiority over SB for the detection of PCa. On the contrary, FB had a high rate of missed PCa compared to SB. Further studies are required to ascertain the role of FB in AS.
