Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of the Transition Zone Predict Incidental Prostate Cancer in HoLEP.
Article in Cancer diagnosis & prognosis. 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
Background/Aim: To assess the effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the transition zone (TZ) for predicting incidental prostate cancer (iPCa) detected after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate by comparing cases with and without iPCa. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 136 patients who underwent holmium laser enucleation for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) between June 2022 and April 2025. After excluding seven patients with biopsy-confirmed prostate cancer, data from 114 patients were analyzed and divided into two groups: iPCa (n=17) and BPH (n=97). The preoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of iPCa. MRI assessment focused exclusively on the TZ according to version 2.1 of the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS). Results: MRI-TZ findings of a PI-RADS score of 3 or more were significantly more prevalent in the iPCa group than in the BPH group (64.7% Conclusion: Preoperative positive MRI-TZ findings may predict iPCa in patients undergoing holmium laser prostate enucleation and potentially guide individualized perioperative risk stratification.
