Application of Shear Wave Elastography and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Transrectal Prostate Biopsy.
Article in Current medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo explore the clinical value of ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in transrectal prostate biopsy.
methodsA total of 54 patients (average age: 67.79±12.01 years) in the experimental group underwent transrectal prostate biopsy under the guidance of SWE, while 46 patients (average age: 69.22±11.54 years) in the control group underwent transrectal prostate biopsy guided by CEUS.
resultsThere were a total of 451 needles, with an average of 8.35±1.67 needles per patient in the experimental group, and a total of 462 needles, with an average of 10.04±1.33 needles per patient in the control group. The difference in puncture times between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the positive detection rate, sensitivity or specificity between the two groups (P>0.05), but there was a significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy between the two groups (P<0.05). The E
conclusionIn summary, both SWE- and CEUS-guided transrectal prostate biopsy can help find the focus and guide the puncture, and improve the positive detection rate.
