[Intelligent early prostate cancer detection in 2021: more benefit than harm].
Review in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2021. 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-specific antigen (PSA) is used for early detection of prostate cancer which represents the most frequent cancer diagnosed in men in Germany and Europe. Results of the largest screening trials revealed that PSA testing reduces the incidence of locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer and shows an effect on cancer-specific mortality. However, since early diagnosis also results in overdiagnosis and overtreatment of insignificant cancers with associated morbidities, there is a need for a more individualized and risk-tailored modern strategy. The PSA at baseline is an important part of this strategy although the German Federal Joint Committee declined its financial coverage by health insurances. Available validated instruments should accompany the baseline PSA to optimize detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.
