Post hoc estimation of a quantitative restriction spectrum imaging biomarker for prostate cancer detection using conventional MRI.

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
backgroundMultiparametric MRI is useful for early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), but its standard apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has limited utility as a quantitative metric for automated, patient-level detection of csPCa. Restriction spectrum imaging (RSI), an advanced diffusion technique, yields a quantitative biomarker (RSIrs) that improves csPCa detection. RSIrs is typically calculated from a dedicated multi-b-value acquisition. RSIrs estimated from conventional MRI has not been studied. PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy and validity of RSI metrics estimated post hoc from conventional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to serve as a viable surrogate for a dedicated RSI acquisition. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective, multicenter study of patients with both a dedicated RSI acquisition and conventional DWI. We compared three different RSI restriction score (RSIrs) calculation methods: from the dedicated acquisition (RSIrs
resultsData from n = 1095 patients (16 centers) were analyzed. Post hoc RSIrs
conclusionEven when estimated using conventional DWI, RSIrs is a superior quantitative biomarker to ADC for automated, patient-level detection of csPCa. A dedicated RSI acquisition gives the best performance. A compromise would be to acquire high b-values (1500 and 2500 s/mm
