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
Introduction: This study aimed to discuss the necessity of a second prostate biopsy in patients with atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) and to develop a scoring system and risk table to be used as new criteria for a second biopsy. Material and methods: The study reviewed the data of 2,845 patients who underwent transrectal ultrasonography-guided prostate biopsy in the period between January 2008 and May 2019. A total of 128 patients with ASAP were included in the study. The tPSA, fPSA, f/tPSA, and PSA-density levels before the first and second biopsies and changes in the measured levels between the values obtained before the first and the second biopsies were recorded. The ASAP Scoring System and Risk Table (ASS-RT) was evaluated before the second biopsy. Results: The mean age of 128 patients with ASAP was 62.9 ±7.8 years. The ASS-RT scores of prostate cancer patients were significantly higher compared to patients without prostate cancer ( Conclusions: The cut-off value of 7 determined for the ASS-RT score in this study suggests that patients with ASS-RT scores of ≥ 7 should undergo a second prostate biopsy. We think that there may be no need for a second biopsy if the ASS-RT score is < 7, especially for low-risk patients.
