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

backgroundIncreasing life expectancy means growing numbers of elderly survive the critical age for cardiac and vascular diseases only to later experience cancer and dementia.

objectivesOf the types of cancer affecting men, prostate cancer continues to be diagnosed early by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. The clinical relevance and quality of life of those affected must be critically judged. Depending on life expectancy, active surveillance (AS) and watchful waiting (WW) will be increasingly used in geriatric patients. Risk stratification as guided by CGA facilitates the therapeutic decisions of urologists and spares metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients from unnecessary and adverse overtreatment. By 2030, approximately 1.8 million people will have dementia.

conclusionsThus, in the future, the health care system will have to treat an aging population, which will require the creation of increasing numbers of geriatric hospital departments and cooperative models between geriatrics and other specialties. The future training of medical students and continuing medical education must also be further developed to include aspects on aging. Only in this manner will it be possible to effectively confront the challenges associated with demographic change in the specialty of geriatrics.
