[Active surveillance in prostate cancer].
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 remains among the most commonly diagnosed malignancies worldwide in men. In patients with low-risk prostate cancer, the risk of metastasis and mortality is very low; therefore, a tumor surveillance strategy can be used. In patients undergoing active surveillance, curative active therapy is postponed without compromising opportunities for cure until there is evidence of progression or the patient desires active therapy. The aim of active surveillance in prostate cancer patients is to minimize treatment-related toxicity without impairing patient survival. To maintain patients under active surveillance, the following criteria should be met: prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤10 ng/ml, Gleason score ≤6, cT1 or cT2a, ≤2 biopsy cores with <50% cancer involvement of every positive core. Follow-up in active surveillance patients is based on repeat biopsy, serial PSA measurements, and digital rectal examination.
