Preoperative PROSTATE scoring system: a potential predictive tool for the risk of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.

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
purposeTo study the association between the preoperative PROSTATE scoring system and the prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR) risk, after radical prostatectomy (RP) in prostate cancer patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 340 patients who underwent a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Peking University First Hospital between November 2007 and March 2016 were included in the study. The preoperative PROSTATE scoring system was measured and calculated. The performance of the scoring system to predict BCR risk was estimated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve). BCR-free survival was analyzed using the Kaplan- Meier method, and the log-rank test was applied to compare the differences in risk among the patient groups. The Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyze the performance of the grouped PROSTATE scores.
resultsOf the total population, 91 (26.8%) patients had BCR. The PROSTATE score was significantly different between the BCR-developed and BCR-free groups (
conclusionThe PROSTATE scoring system performed adequately in predicting the risk of BCR after RP. The scoring system can assist in decision-making about the operation and post- operative follow-up for patients with high-risk.
