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 biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer and reliable pathological assessment is essential for guiding management. Research efforts over the past few years have aimed to establish a more universal approach to management according to pathological grading; however, high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) and atypical glands suspicious for carcinoma are two diagnoses without standardized follow-up and treatment pathways. Much of this uncertainty is due to limited evidence describing the subsequent rates of cancer and high-grade cancer when HGPIN or atypical glands are detected on initial biopsy. Fortunately, data from the past decade have shed light on these phenomena, and an improved understanding of the implications of the presence of HGPIN and atypical glands on prostate biopsy means that clinical recommendations can be made for the management of patients with these diagnoses.
