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

backgroundWe investigated whether age influences the predictiveness of genetic risk score (GRS) for prostate cancer (PCa) in a Chinese hospital-based biopsy cohort.

methodsWe included consecutive patients who underwent prostate biopsies in two tertiary centers between 2012 and 2014. GRS was calculated using 24 PCa-associated genetic variants and its predictiveness was assessed by area under curve (AUC).

resultsOf 1120 men tested, 724 with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) < 20 ng/ml were selected for further analysis. Patients were divided into 3 groups by age cutoffs at 60 and 70 years. GRS significantly predicted PCa for all patients (AUC: 0.561; 95% CI: 0.514-0.609) and was an independent predictor in multivariate analysis for the 60-70 year-olds (AUC: 0.612, 95% CI: 0.541-0.684), but not for patients aged < 60 years or ≥ 70 years. For PCa with Gleason score ≥ 7, GRS discriminative ability was 0.582 (95% CI=0.527-0.637) for all patients, and 0.647 (95% CI: 0.541-0.684) for the 60-70 year-old group.

conclusionGRS significantly increased clinical prediction of PCa and high-grade disease in Chinese men aged 60-70 years, which implies that men in this age group would benefit most from genetic testing.
