Indications for and transitioning to secondary treatment while on active surveillance for prostate cancer.
Review in Translational andrology and urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
For men with lower risk prostate cancer, there is ever-growing literature that demonstrates the oncologic safety of deferring radical treatment and opting for regular monitoring for disease progression. This strategy's success is largely owed to appropriate, systematic monitoring protocols that typically employ various prostate specific antigen (PSA) metrics or digital rectal exam (DRE) findings. Novel biologic markers and advanced imaging techniques have shown promise in active surveillance (AS) populations such as for use of patient candidacy as well as detection of disease progression. This review summarizes contemporary surveillance protocols as well as the emerging technologies which demonstrate significant potential to improve such protocols.
