Targeted biopsy of the prostate.
Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Diagnostic multiparametric MRI of the prostate has steadily evolved over the last three decades and can now reliably depict the dominant tumor in most men with prostate cancer. In response, several methods of targeted biopsy to direct tissue sampling of suspected tumor foci seen at multiparametric MRI have been developed and successfully tested in recent years, including software-assisted MRI-ultrasound (US) fusion biopsy and direct MRI-guided in-bore biopsy. These advances are leading to a sea change in the approach to prostate cancer diagnosis, with the traditional approach of blind systematic biopsy increasingly being replaced by MRI directed targeted biopsy. This review aims to describe the current status of targeted biopsy, with an emphasis on the relative accuracy of different techniques. The results of several critical large multicenter trials are presented, while unanswered questions that require more research are highlighted.
