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

backgroundOpportunistic prostate cancer (PCa) screening is a controversial topic. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to detect prostate cancer with a high sensitivity and specificity, leading to the idea to perform an image-guided prostate cancer (PCa) screening; Methods: We evaluated a prospectively enrolled cohort of 49 healthy men participating in a dedicated image-guided PCa screening trial employing a biparametric MRI (bpMRI) protocol consisting of T2-weighted (T2w) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) sequences. Datasets were analyzed both by human readers and by a fully automated artificial intelligence (AI) software using deep learning (DL). Agreement between the algorithm and the reports-serving as the ground truth-was compared on a per-case and per-lesion level using metrics of diagnostic accuracy and k statistics; Results: The DL method yielded an 87% sensitivity (33/38) and 50% specificity (5/10) with a k of 0.42. 12/28 (43%) Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 3, 16/22 (73%) PI-RADS 4, and 5/5 (100%) PI-RADS 5 lesions were detected compared to the ground truth. Targeted biopsy revealed PCa in six participants, all correctly diagnosed by both the human readers and AI.

conclusionsThe results of our study show that in our AI-assisted, image-guided prostate cancer screening the software solution was able to identify highly suspicious lesions and has the potential to effectively guide the targeted-biopsy workflow.
