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

introductionThe Mona Lisa 2.0 robotic platform integrates MRI/ultrasound fusion, AI-based prostate segmentation, and automated needle trajectory planning to optimize transperineal targeted biopsy (TB) precision. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the first European experience in 10 consecutive patients undergoing robot-assisted TB, with optional systematic cores. Clinically significant prostate cancer was detected in all rTB procedures. Standard cores added limited diagnostic yield and mainly sampled perilesional "penumbra" areas. Mean biopsy duration was 12.9 min, no peri- or post-procedural complications occurred, and high-quality tissue samples were consistently obtained.

conclusionsThese preliminary data confirm feasibility, safety, and reproducibility of Mona Lisa 2.0 robotic platform, as a new kid on the block in urologic robotic armamentarium.
