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

Objective: To investigate the incremental diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score combined with prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) for prostate cancer (PCa), and to evaluate the clinical implications of different combined strategies. Methods: A total of 187 patients who underwent prostate MRI and had pathological results were retrospectively included, including 117 with PCa and 70 with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. A PI-RADS-only model, a log(PSAD)-only model, a combined model, and an adjusted model were constructed. Receiver operating characteristic curves and DeLong tests were used to evaluate diagnostic performance. Results: Age, log(tPSA), f/t ratio, log(PSAD), and PI-RADS score were all significantly associated with PCa diagnosis (all Conclusion: PI-RADS combined with PSAD improves diagnostic discrimination for PCa and may support different clinical strategies requiring higher specificity or sensitivity.
