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

purposeAn MRI-based risk calculator (RC) has been recommended for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). PSMA PET/CT can detect lesions that are not visible on MRI, and the addition of PSMA PET/CT to MRI may improve diagnostic performance. The aim of this study was to incorporate the PRIMARY score or SUVmax derived from [

methodsA total of 683 consecutive biopsy-naïve men who underwent both [

resultsThe prevalence of csPCa was 47.5% (262/552) in the development cohort and 41.9% (55/131) in the temporal validation cohort. In the development cohort, the AUC of MRI-PRIMARY-RC was significantly higher than that of MRI-RC (0.924 vs. 0.868, p < 0.001) and MRI-SUVmax-RC (0.924 vs. 0.904, p = 0.002). In the temporal validation cohort, MRI-PRIMARY-RC also showed the best discriminative ability with an AUC of 0.921 (95% CI: 0.873-0.969). Bootstrapped calibration curves revealed that the model fit was acceptable. MRI-PRIMARY-RC exhibited near-perfect calibration within the range of 0-40%. DCA showed that MRI-PRIMARY-RC had the greatest net benefit for detecting csPCa compared with MRI-RC and MRI-SUVmax-RC at a risk threshold of 5-40% for csPCa in both the development and validation cohorts.

conclusionThe addition of the PRIMARY score to MRI-based multivariable model improved the accuracy of risk stratification prior to biopsy. Our novel MRI-PRIMARY prediction model is a promising approach for reducing unnecessary biopsies and improving the early detection of csPCa.
