Management of patients with a persistently elevated PSA after radical prostatectomy: a narrative review.
Review in World journal of urology, 2022. 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
introductionThe management of the postoperative biological relapse of prostate cancer is most often based on salvage radiotherapy (SRT) with or without the addition of a variable duration of hormone therapy (HT). The indications for SRT +/- HT are established in the setting of a rising PSA level after a period where an undetectable PSA was achieved. However, in case of detectable PSA immediately after radical prostatectomy, the treatment options and prognosis are still unclear. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a narrative review based on an analysis of the literature focusing on articles targeting the population of patients with postoperative persistently detectable PSA level. Case reports, original articles, clinical trials, and published reviews were studied for this purpose.
conclusionThis article will describe current management of patients with detectable PSA immediately after radical prostatectomy, notably the contribution of modern imaging and new treatment options involving the combination of RT and HT.
