Age-specific reference ranges of prostate-specific antigen in the elderly of Amirkola: A population-based study.
Article in Asian journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo determine the age-specific reference ranges of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the older men in the city of Amirkola.
methodsThis cross-sectional study is a part of Amirkola Health and Ageing Project (AHAP) which has been conducted as a cohort study since 2011 in Amirkola, a city in northern Iran. The demographic information of all men aged 60 and older were collected through questionnaires and interviews and the PSA measurements were performed using ELISA and Diametra kit. The acquired data were analyzed afterwards.
resultsA number of 837 elderly men with a mean age of 69.99±7.72 years participated in this study. The serum PSA level (95th percentile) was determined to be 0.9 (0-4.89) ng/mL in the age group of 60-64 years, 1.1 (0-4.88) ng/mL in the age group of 65-69 years, 0.93 (0-9.01) ng/mL in the age group of 70-74 years, 1.3 (0-7.95) ng/mL in the age group of 75-79 years, 1.9 (0-11.98 ng/mL) in the age group of 80-84 years, and 1.45 (0-33.17) ng/mL in the 85 and older group. The serum PSA level was significantly correlated with age (
conclusionThis study indicated that there is a direct correlation between the age and serum PSA levels. The use of age-specific reference range could guide clinicians on the incidence of prostate cancer in this population and perhaps reduce the number of unnecessary tests in this population group.
