Transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: what the radiologist needs to know.
Review in Insights into imaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Transperineal ultrasound-guided (TP) prostate biopsy has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of post-procedural sepsis when compared to transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy. With guidance from the European Urology Association favouring adoption of a TP biopsy route, it is clear that, despite being a more technically challenging procedure, TP biopsy in an outpatient setting will replace TRUS biopsy. This paper gives the reader a succinct summary of outpatient transperineal prostate biopsy under local anaesthetic utilising a free-hand ultrasound technique. Patient preparation and consent process is outlined. A comprehensive pictorial review of the procedure, pitfalls and common post-procedural outcomes is presented. This paper provides a framework and guide for those wishing to adopt the transperineal approach under local anaesthetic.
