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

backgroundStudies suggested superb microvascular imaging technology to guide prostate cancer biopsy could improve the positive rate of draw materials. The present meta-analysis aimed at determining the accuracy of SMI in the location diagnosis for prostate cancer.

methodsWe will search PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Chinese biomedical databases from their inceptions to the October 31st, 2020. Two authors will independently carry out searching literature records, scanning titles and abstracts, full texts, collecting data, and assessing risk of bias. Review Manager 5.2 and Stata14.0 software will be used for data analysis.

resultsThis systematic review will determine the accuracy of superb microvascular imaging in guiding targeted biopsy of prostate cancer.

conclusionIts findings will provide helpful evidence for the accuracy of superb microvascular imaging in guiding targeted biopsy of prostate cancer. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: INPLASY2020100117.
