Prostate cancer detection using e-nose and AI for high probability assessment.
Article in BMC medical informatics and decision making, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This research aims to develop a diagnostic tool that can quickly and accurately detect prostate cancer using electronic nose technology and a neural network trained on a dataset of urine samples from patients diagnosed with both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, which incorporates a unique data redundancy method. By analyzing signals from these samples, we were able to significantly reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies and improve the classification method, resulting in a recall rate of 91% for detecting prostate cancer. The goal is to make this technology widely available for use in primary care centers, to allow for rapid and non-invasive diagnoses.
