New and novel markers for prostate cancer detection.
Review in Current urology reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 detection and treatment of prostate cancer was dramatically altered with the advent of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and its usefulness particularly in following patients after radical prostatectomy is unquestioned. The ability of PSA to predict prostate cancer, and in particular clinically relevant prostate cancer, has come into doubt in recent years and has led to the search for better diagnostic markers for prostate cancer. Both serum and urine biomarkers are in various stages of development, and many of these have been discovered through progress in genomic and proteomic analysis. Some of these perform better in limited study than our current standards of diagnosis (ie, PSA and digital rectal examinations), and some have suggested the capacity to predict stage and likelihood of recurrence. Further study is needed to validate many of these markers, and the future of prostate cancer detection will likely lie in multiplex assays that test a number of markers concomitantly to assess prostate cancer risk.
