Active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer - in pursuit of a standardized protocol.
Review in Central European journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionActive surveillance (AS) is a management option recommended by most guidelines for low risk clinically-localized prostate cancer (LR-CLPC). Data shows that AS is being increasingly adopted into clinical practice worldwide. Our aim was to review the up-to date guidelines and observational studies in regards to AS in LR-CLRPC to gain insight into principles of contemporary clinical practice. MATERIAL AND
methodsSeveral guidelines on the management of low-risk prostate cancer were reviewed for evidence-based recommendations regarding the protocol of AS. We reviewed the available literature for most recent studies on AS in LR-CLPC.
resultsNo uniform protocol of AS in LR-CLPC has been recommended up to date and available guidelines significantly differ in terms of protocol schedules and the role of particular tools in monitoring for disease progression. Nevertheless, recent studies on AS in LR-CLPC, in which various protocols were adopted, have demonstrated promising outcomes in regards to cancer-specific survival (99-100% at 5 years, 98.1-99.9% at 10 years, and 94.3-96% at 15 years), with high rates of men remaining within the protocols (23-39% at 10 years).
conclusionsThis article is a call for focusing further research on development and recommending a precise and standardized, evidence-based protocol for AS in LR-CLPC.
