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
The incremental value of PI-RADS for predicting adverse pathology at radical prostatectomy in men diagnosed through systematic biopsy remains uncertain. We assessed whether PI-RADS improves discrimination beyond age, MRI-derived prostate-specificantigen density (PSAD), biopsy Grade Group, and quantitative biopsy tumour burden. This retrospective study included 284 men undergoing 1.5-T mpMRI, systematic biopsy, and radical prostatectomy between January 2020 and January 2026. Adverse pathology comprised prostatectomy Grade Group ≥ 3 and/or stage ≥ pT3a. Three logistic models were compared: age/PSAD/biopsy grade/tumour burden; age/PSAD/PI-RADS; and their combination. Internal validation used 2000 bootstrap samples. Adverse pathology occurred in 143 patients (50.4%). Apparent AUCs were 0.790 (95% CI 0.737-0.843), 0.713 (0.653-0.773), and 0.799 (0.747-0.851); optimism-corrected AUCs were 0.781, 0.703, and 0.787. Adding PI-RADS ≥ 4 yielded an adjusted OR of 1.996 (95% CI 1.150-3.465) and an apparent AUC difference of 0.009 (95% CI -0.015 to 0.033; descriptive DeLong
