Combined measurement of serum zinc with PSA ameliorates prostate cancer screening efficiency via support vector machine algorithms.

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
Background: Early screening of prostate cancer (PCa) is pivotal but challenging in the clinical scenario due to the phenomena of false positivity or false negativity of some serological evaluations, e.g. PSA testing. Decline of serum Zn Methods: A total of 858 male patients with prostate disorders and 345 healthy male controls were enrolled. Patients' data included 4 variables and serum Zn Results: In SVM model, the mean AUC of the ROC with the quartet of variables was approximately 84% for PCa diagnosis, whereas the mean AUC of the ROCs with tPSA, fPSA, [Zn Conclusion: Findings from our present study demonstrated that index combination via SVM algorithms may well facilitate clinicians in early differential screening of PCa. Meanwhile, our established PI stratification system based on SVM model and Sigmoid function provided substantial accuracy in preclinical risk prediction of developing prostate cancer.
