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

Prostate cancer remains the most prevalent noncutaneous cancer, leading to almost 30,000 deaths every year in men in the United States. A large body of knowledge emphasizes a strong influence of epidemiological factors such as lifestyle, environment and diet, on the development of prostate cancer. Although risk reduction of prostate cancer has been somewhat successful, effective prevention is still lacking. Immunotherapeutic approaches, although moderately complicated, remain promising in an effort to control the progression and development of the disease. Taken together, the parameters of epidemiological studies and immunotherapeutic regimens might eventually be the most effective and preventive approach for prostate cancer. This review highlights some of the events associated with the development and prevention of prostate cancer.
