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

Improved medical therapy for HIV-positive patients has helped delay the progression of HIV to AIDS and reduce AIDS deaths. This dramatically prolonged survival has resulted in increased detection of non-AIDS-defining malignancies, such as prostate cancer, in people with HIV. Reported prostate cancer incidences in HIV-positive men compared with the general population vary in different studies; however, its incidence in the general population has generally increased over time, owing to the widespread use of PSA testing and increased life expectancy. In the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era, evidence indicates that PSA kinetics and prostate cancer behavior are similar in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients. Current American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines recommend screening of all men aged >or=40 years with a life expectancy >10 years, and HIV-positive patients should be included in this recommendation. Treatment options for HIV-positive patients with prostate cancer should include all those offered to the general population. Long-term treatment outcomes in HIV-positive patients remain uncertain; however, early results suggest response rates similar to those in HIV-negative patients.
