Haemorrhagic risk of transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy performed under continued antithrombotic therapy.

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
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the safety of transperineal prostate biopsy performed with continued antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies under caudal anaesthesia. Patients and Methods: A total of 620 consecutive patients who underwent transperineal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy at a tertiary care centre in Japan from March 2023 to June 2025 were retrospectively analysed. Antithrombotic agents were continued according to institutional policy, and all procedures were performed under caudal anaesthesia. Patients were categorised into a no-antithrombotic therapy group (NA group, Results: Haemorrhagic events occurred in 8.9% and 11.7% of patients in the NA and AP/AC groups, respectively ( Conclusion: Continuation of antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy during transperineal prostate biopsy under caudal anaesthesia was not associated with a clear increase in clinically relevant haemorrhagic complications, and no anaesthesia-related complications were observed.
