Table 3. Meta-regression analysis with cancer detection rate of each strategy as the primary outcome.

		Unstandardised Coefficients	95% Confidence Interval. Lower bound	95% ConfidenceInterval. Upper bound	P-value
Variables	TS-B (Reference)
	TP-B	7·91	−0·44	16·26	0·063
	MRI-B	8·55	0·94	16·17	0·028
	Mean Age	0·46	−1·55	2·47	0·653
	Mean PSA	−0·13	−0·96	0·70	0·764

TS-B is shown as the reference category for the purpose of comparison with the other two strategies. (TP-B – Transperineal biopsy, TS-B – Transrectal saturation biopsy, MRI-B – MRI guided biopsy).
