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
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Nigerian men. The prevalence of PCa varies within Nigeria, with the highest prevalence of 1046 per 100,000 in men over the age of 40 reported in Lagos. Unfortunately, 40% of these men are diagnosed with locally advanced disease and 35% with metastatic disease. Given the ability to screen for PCa among high-risk individuals, late stage diagnosis of PCa could be potentially reduced through education of men so that they seek screening. Along these lines, it is important to assess a population's knowledge and awareness on PCa and screening. Our study addresses this issue by evaluating awareness and attitudes of Nigerian men in Abuja on PCa and screening. Our results revealed gaps in awareness and perception of susceptibility to PCa and low levels of PCa screening. Factors such as age, education level, and income affected PCa awareness. In conclusion, our study points to the need to educate younger men of lower education and socioeconomic status in Nigeria with the aim to increase screening and earlier detection of PCa.
