Nonlinear Relationship Between Age and Likelihood of Undergoing Prostate-Specific Antigen Testing, and the Predictive Factors of Testing at Different Ages.
Article in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo investigate the nonlinear relationship between age and the likelihood of undergoing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, and the difference of factors influencing the test likelihood among subjects aged 40-54, 55-69, and ≥70 years.
methodsData were extracted from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, with the primary outcome defined as receipt of a PSA test within the previous 12 months. Restricted cubic splines were used to assess the relationship between age and the likelihood of undergoing PSA testing. Backward conditional logistic regression analyses were used to identify the predictors of undergoing PSA testing among subjects aged 40-54, 55-69, and ≥70 years.
resultsFinally, 92,177 people were identified. The likelihood of PSA testing increased up to around 71 years old and then decreased rapidly for higher ages, showing a clear nonlinear inverted U-shaped relationship with age (
conclusionThe factors influencing PSA screening differ with age, which should be fully considered when screening different target age groups.
