1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Low-risk prostate cancer has traditionally seen a preference towards avoiding treatment-related harms with active surveillance (AS) and multimodal monitoring protocols utilized to assess for disease progression. Large trials have shown variations in mortality and cancer survival benefit between AS and radical treatment, which has prompted further trials into the management of low-risk disease. Nonradical treatments for men on AS have been an emerging field and yet to enter mainstream guidelines or practice. These include pharmacological treatments, focal therapy, nutraceuticals, immunotherapy, and exercise. We present a review of all current major randomized clinical trials for nonradical treatment of men on AS and summarize their findings.
