Investigating Efficient Risk-Stratified Pathways for the Early Detection of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Risk-stratified pathways (RSPs) are recommended by the European Association of Uro-logy (EAU) to improve the early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). RSPs can reduce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demand, prostate biopsies, and the over-detection of insignificant PCa (iPCa). Our goal is to analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of several RSPs by using sequential stratifications from the serum prostate-specific antigen level and digital rectal examination, the Barcelona risk calculators (BCN-RCs), MRI, and Proclarix™. In a cohort of 567 men with a serum PSA level above 3.0 ng/mL who underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and targeted and/or systematic biopsies, the risk of csPCa was retrospectively assessed using Proclarix™ and BCN-RCs 1 and 2. Six RSPs were compared with those recommended by the EAU that, stratifying men from MRI, avoided 16.7% of prostate biopsies with a prostate imaging-reporting and data system score of <3, with 2.6% of csPCa cases remaining undetected. The most effective RSP avoided mpMRI exams in men with a serum PSA level of >10 ng/mL and suspicious DRE, following stratifications from BCN-RC 1, mpMRI, and Proclarix™. The demand for mpMRI decreased by 19.9%, prostate biopsies by 19.8%, and over-detection of iPCa by 22.7%, while 2.6% of csPCa remained undetected as in the recommended RSP. Cost-effectiveness remained when the Proclarix™ price was assumed to be below EUR 200.
