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

Screening may be effective for reducing deaths due to prostate cancer. The aim of this study was determine the prevalence and determinants influencing prostate cancer early detection behaviors based on the theory planned behavior (TPB). In this cross-sectional study, conducted in the west of Iran, a total of 250 men aged 50 to 70 years old were randomly selected to participate. Of these, 200 (80%) signed the consent form and voluntarily agreed to take part. A structured questionnaire based on TPB constructs was applied for collecting data by interview. Analyses were conducted with SPSS version 16 using bivariate correlations, and logistic and linear regression. Some 26.5% of the participants demonstrated prostate cancer early detection behavior. Age higher than 60 (OR: 5.969), academic education (OR: 2.904), number of family members more than four (OR: 3.144), and knowledge about prostate cancer (OR: 3.693) were the most influential predictive factors for early detection behavior. Furthermore, among the TPB constructs, attitude (OR=1.090) and subjective norms (OR=1.280) were the most influential predictors. Attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control accounted for 43% of the variation in the outcome measure of the intention to screen for prostate cancer (adjusted R squared= 0.43, F= 49.270 and P < 0.001). Designing and implementation programs to increase positive attitudes and encourage subjective norms towards prostate cancer screening behavior may be useful for promotion of early detection.
