Detection of anterior prostate cancer using a magnetic resonance imaging-transrectal ultrasound fusion biopsy in cases with initial biopsy and history of systematic biopsies.
Article in Prostate international, 2023. 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
Background: Prostate cancer in the anterior region may be missed on a transrectal systematic biopsy (SBx). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance imaging-transrectal ultrasound (MRI-TRUS) fusion targeted biopsy (TBx) in detecting anterior region cancer in patients with a history of SBxs. Methods: Prostate biopsies were performed in 224 patients after multiparametric MRI, among whom 119 patients with prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS version 2) scores of 3 to 5 underwent MRI-TRUS fusion TBxs. Afterward, cancer detection rates (CDRs) and TBx-positive core regions were compared by categorizing patients into those with or without a history of SBxs. Results: Total CDR was 68.8% (44/64 cases) in the initial biopsy group (Initial-Bx group) and 47.3% (26/55 cases) in the previous-negative-systematic biopsy group (Pre-Neg-SBx group) ( Conclusion: Using MRI-TRUS fusion TBx in the evaluation of previously negative SBx cases improved the detection rate of anterior lesions, which might have been missed in previous SBxs. Especially in patients with a history of SBxs mpMRI should be performed to screen for anterior lesions.
