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

Introduction: Transition zone (TZ) prostate cancer poses diagnostic challenges due to overlapping imaging features with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This study aimed to investigate whether Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) v2.1 combined with prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) can enhance diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing TZ cancer from BPH. Material and methods: The retrospective study included 377 patients divided into two groups: the TZ cancer group ( Results: Statistically significant differences were found in PSA, prostate volume, PSAD, and PI-RADS scores between the two groups (all Conclusions: The combination of PI-RADS v2.1 and PSAD enhances the diagnostic accuracy for TZ cancer, thereby reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.
