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
Objectives: This study was to explore the feasibility of combining contrast-enhanced transrectal ultrasound (CE-TRUS) with biparametric MRI (CEUS-BpMRI) score for diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: A total of 183 patients with suspected PCa who underwent multiparametric MRI (Mp-MRI) and CE-TRUS were included. CEUS-BpMRI score was developed based on the results of Mp-MRI and CE-TRUS. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC). The diagnostic efficacy of the CEUS-BpMRI score, BpMRI score, and PI-RADS v2.1 score were compared. Total patients were randomly assigned to a training cohort (70%) or validation cohort (30%). A nomogram was constructed based on univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The model was evaluated by AUC and calibration curve. Results: The diagnostic performance of CEUS-BpMRI score (AUC 0.857) was comparable to that of PI-RADS v2.1 (AUC 0.862) ( Conclusions: CEUS-BpMRI score has high diagnostic efficacy for diagnosing PCa. A nomogram model established by combining age, F/T, TTP, and CEUS-BpMRI score can achieve the best predictive accuracy for PCa.
