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

For ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, a transperineal approach is emerging as a superior alternative to the transrectal approach because the former is associated with a lower risk of infection. This pictorial essay aims to highlight the broader applications of transperineal ultrasound (i.e., those beyond prostate biopsy). We demonstrate various diagnostic and therapeutic uses of transperineal ultrasound, including lymph node biopsies, abscess drainage, hydrogel spacer placement for radiotherapy, and penile biopsies. Details of the transperineal approach, including patient positioning and preparation, are described. In addition, the effectiveness and safety of the method are demonstrated. Our results underscore the versatility of transperineal ultrasound and its potential to enhance clinical practice, demonstrating its importance as a minimally invasive technique with significant clinical benefits in various medical contexts.
