Impact of Endorectal Coil Use on Extraprostatic Extension Detection in Prostate MRI: A Retrospective Monocentric Study.
Trial report in Academic radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
RATIONALE AND
objectivesAccurate preoperative mpMRI-based detection of extraprostatic extension (EPE) in prostate cancer (PCa) is critical for surgical planning and patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of endorectal coil (ERC) use on the diagnostic performance of mpMRI in detecting EPE. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study with prospectively collected data included participants who underwent mpMRI and subsequent radical prostatectomy for PCa between 2007 and 2024. Participants were divided based on ERC use on mpMRI: MRI without ERC and with ERC. Surgical pathology reports were used to determine the patients with pathologic EPE on whole-mount histopathology. One radiologist evaluated mpMRI using an in-house (National Cancer Institute [NCI]) EPE grading system. Logistic regression (LR) analyses were conducted to identify significant predictors of pathologic EPE, including ERC use and NCI EPE grades.
results934 men (median age: 62 years [IQR = 57-67]) were included. For NCI EPE grade≥1, ERC MRI group (n = 612) had higher NPV (91% [320/353] vs. 83% [166/200], p = 0.01) and sensitivity (75% [101/134] vs. 62% [56/90], p = 0.04) compared to non-ERC group (n = 322). For NCI EPE grade = 3, ERC MRI group had higher NPV (83% [452/546] vs. 75% [221/294], p = 0.01) and accuracy (80% [492/612] vs. 74% [238/322], p = 0.03). In multivariable LR, higher NCI EPE grades were strong independent predictors of pathologic EPE, irrespective of ERC use (NCI EPE grade 2 with ERC: odds ratio [OR] = 2.01, p = 0.04; without ERC: OR = 5.63, p<0.001, NCI EPE grade 3 with ERC: OR = 4.53, p<0.001; without ERC: OR = 5.22, p = 0.002).
conclusionERC improves sensitivity, NPV, accuracy of EPE detection with mpMRI at different NCI EPE thresholds. NCI EPE grading system remains the stronger independent predictor of pathologic EPE regardless of ERC use.
