Biparametric MR signal characteristics can predict histopathological measures of prostate cancer.
Article in European radiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to establish a new data-driven metric from MRI signal intensity that can quantify histopathological characteristics of prostate cancer.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted on 488 patients who underwent biparametric MRI (bp-MRI), including T2-weighted imaging (T2W) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of diffusion-weighted imaging, and having biopsy-proven prostate cancer between August 2011 and July 2015. Forty-two of the patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and the rest of 446 patients constitute the labeled and unlabeled datasets, respectively. A deep learning model was built to predict the density of epithelium, epithelial nuclei, stroma, and lumen from bp-MRI, called MR-driven tissue density. On both the labeled validation set and the whole unlabeled dataset, the quality of MR-driven tissue density and its relation to bp-MRI signal intensity were examined with respect to different histopathologic and radiologic conditions using different statistical analyses.
resultsMR-driven tissue density and bp-MRI of 446 patients were evaluated. MR-driven tissue density was significantly related to bp-MRI (p < 0.05). The relationship was generally stronger in cancer regions than in benign regions. Regarding cancer grades, significant differences were found in the intensity of bp-MRI and MR-driven tissue density of epithelium, epithelial nuclei, and stroma (p < 0.05). Comparing MR true-negative to MR false-positive regions, MR-driven lumen density was significantly different, similar to the intensity of bp-MRI (p < 0.001).
conclusionsMR-driven tissue density could serve as a reliable histopathological measure of the prostate on bp-MRI, leading to an improved understanding of prostate cancer and cancer progression. KEY POINTS: • Semi-supervised deep learning enables non-invasive and quantitative histopathology in the prostate from biparametric MRI. • Tissue density derived from biparametric MRI demonstrates similar characteristics to the direct estimation of tissue density from histopathology images. • The analysis of MR-driven tissue density reveals significantly different tissue compositions among different cancer grades as well as between MR-positive and MR-negative benign.
