The value of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the prognostic judgment of prostate cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
Both the Gleason grading system, which assesses prostate cancer aggressiveness, and the D’Amico risk classification, which predicts the likelihood of tumor recurrence, require post-surgical data to provide results. This highlights the significant research need for non-invasive methods of preoperative prediction of tumor aggressiveness and recurrence risk. To help fill this need, we investigated the correlation between various multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) parameters and the ISUP 2014 Gleason grade group and D’Amico risk classification for prostate cancer. We prospectively collected pelvic mpMRI data from 561 patients who presented with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels at our hospital. After we semi-quantitatively scored primary prostate lesions on a five-point scale according to the PI-RADS v2.1 standard, we post-processed diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) images to quantitatively measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the primary lesions. We then calculated Kendall’s tau-b correlation coefficients to assess correlations between the above MR parameters and the ISUP 2014 Gleason grade group and D’Amico risk classification. Our analysis indicates that several mpMRI parameters are correlated with the International Society of Urologic Pathologists (ISUP) 2014 Gleason grade group and the D’Amico risk classification in prostate cancer. In particular, ADC values and PI-RADS scores show strong correlations with the ISUP 2014 Gleason grade group. mpMRI parameters may serve as non-invasive surrogate markers, aiding in preoperative risk stratification for prostate cancer.
