[Perineal prostate biopsy].
Review in Urologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
The prostate biopsy is an essential tool for diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa). While transrectal biopsy (TR-Bx) continues to be considered the gold standard in Germany, the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines increasingly recommend transperineal biopsy (TP-Bx) due to lower infection rates and higher tumor detection rates. This article provides an overview of the history and development of the perineal biopsy, compares TR-Bx and TP-Bx and discusses the need for antibiotic prophylaxis before TP-Bx. Current studies have shown that TP-Bx can be performed without antibiotic prophylaxis and new techniques such as robotic-assisted and vector biopsy show very precise results. The establishment of TP-Bx is being promoted by extrabudgetary funding and technological advancements, with the choice of biopsy method remaining an individual decision jointly made in dialogue with the patient.
