Exploration of the Value of Combined UA, IL-6, and fPSA/tPSA in the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Objective: To investigate the differences in uric acid (UA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and free prostatic-specific antigen (fPSA)/total prostatic-specific antigen (tPSA) (F/T) between patients with and without prostate cancer (PCa) in order to discover the value of the three indicators in improving PCa diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Patients with pathologically diagnosed PCa (PCa group, Results: There were statistically significant differences in IL-6 and F/T among the three groups (all Conclusion: These results suggest that IL-6 and F/T have a good detection effect for PCa screening. Compared with the detection of F/T alone, the combined detection of IL-6 and F/T can improve the diagnosis rate of PCa to a certain extent, providing effective guidance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients. The value of UA needs to be further studied, and its feasibility in the diagnosis of PCa needs to be further explored.
