Initial experience and cancer detection rates of office-based transperineal magnetic resonance imaging-ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy under local anesthesia.

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
introductionWe aimed to demonstrate feasibility and cancer detection rates of office-based ultrasound-guided transperineal magnetic resonance imaging-ultrasound (MRI-US) fusion (TFB) prostate biopsy under local anesthesia.
methodsWith institutional review board approval, records of men undergoing TFB in the office setting under local anesthesia were reviewed. Baseline patient characteristics, MRI findings, cancer detection rates, and complications were recorded. The PrecisionPoint Transperineal Access System (Perineologic, Cumberland, MD, U.S.), along with UroNav 3.0 image-fusion system (Invivo International, Best, The Netherlands) were used for all procedures. Following biopsy, men were surveyed to assess patient experience.
resultsBetween January 2019 and February 2020, 200 TFBs were performed, of which 141 (71%) were positive for prostate cancer, with 117 (83%) Gleason grade group 2 or higher. A total of 259 of 265 MRI lesions were biopsied, with 127 (49%) positive overall. Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 4-5 lesions were positive for prostate cancer in 59% of cases. The mean procedural time was 20 minutes, with a patient enter-to-exit room time of 54 minutes. There were no septic complications, no patients required post-procedure hospital admission, and all procedures were successfully completed. Seventy-five percent of patients surveyed reported complete resolution of pain at three days following the procedure.
conclusionsOffice-based TFB represents a viable approach to prostate cancer detection following prostate MRI. Larger-scale assessment is needed to categorize cancer detection rates more accurately by PI-RADs subset, patient selection factors, complication rate, and cost relative to TFB under anesthesia.
