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

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) based

methodsFrom April 2018 to November 2019, we prospectively enrolled 55 candidates to perform PET/CT-US or PET/MRI-US fusion targeted biopsies for solitary PET-positive prostate lesions (two to four cores/lesion). The positive rates of prostate cancer based on patients and biopsy cores were calculated respectively. With reference to the pathological results of biopsy cores, the MR signal characteristics in the area of the PET-positive lesion were analyzed for the patients who underwent PET/MRI.

resultsA total of 178 biopsy cores were taken on the 55 patients. One hundred forty-six biopsy cores (82.0%, 146/178) from 51 (92.7%, 51/55) patients were positive for prostate cancer; 47 (85.5%, 47/55) were clinically significant prostate cancer. It is noteworthy that nine patients underwent both
