1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This case report presents CT-guided transperineal biopsy as an alternative method for diagnosis of prostate cancer in a patient with anorectal stenosis. A 69-year-old male had a history of anorectal surgeries. Conventional transrectal biopsy was unfeasible due to anorectal stenosis. The CT-guided transperineal biopsy was successfully performed using a cranio-caudal puncture technique, revealing adenocarcinoma. After the biopsy, the patient received appropriate hormone therapy and radiation therapy. This case report highlights the feasibility and safety of CT-guided transperineal biopsy for the patients with anorectal complications.
