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

backgroundWe assessed the 5-year risk of being diagnosed with significant prostate cancer following a low-suspicion biparametric magnetic resonance imaging result.

methodsThe study population was derived from a prospective database used to assess the diagnostic accuracy of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging for significant prostate cancer detection in 1020 biopsy-naïve men. Significant prostate cancer was defined as any core with Gleason grade group ≥3 or a maximum cancerous core length greater than 50% of Gleason grade group 2. A secondary definition of significant prostate cancer was also included: any core with prostate cancer Gleason grade group ≥2. Of the 1020 men, 305 had a low-suspicion biparametric magnetic resonance imaging result (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System score of 1 or 2) but four men were excluded from follow-up. Thus, the final study population consisted of 301 men, who were clinically followed-up from inclusion (November 2015 to June 2017) until 1 June 2021.

findingsOverall, 1·7% (5/301) of the study population had significant prostate cancer diagnosed within 5 years (median 1480 days, Interquartile Range (1587-1382)) of their low-suspicion result and corresponding set of biopsies. When the secondary definition of significant prostate cancer was applied, this increased to 5% (15/301) of the study population.

interpretationThe 5-year risk of being diagnosed with significant prostate cancer after a prebiopsy low-suspicion prebiopsy biparametric magnetic resonance imaging result was 1·7%.
