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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to investigate the current use and effectiveness of active surveillance (AS) for clinical low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) in men considered to be "high-risk" based on the factors of race, genetics, healthcare access, and socioeconomic status. RECENT

findingsAdvances in molecular biomarkers and imaging have improved the detection, risk stratification, and treatment of PCa. Still, overdiagnosis and overtreatment of indolent disease remain a concern. AS is therefore the preferred option for clinical low-risk disease. Yet, because of the variability in PCa presentation based on the aforementioned environmental and genetic factors, the question remains: Is active surveillance a safe option for everyone? Provider hesitancy should not necessarily exclude high-risk men from participating in AS. Rather, clinicians should employ shared decision-making, sound clinical judgment, and stringent follow-up in order to effectively counsel AS candidates and optimize AS-related outcomes in "high-risk" individuals.
