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

There has been much controversy about the effectiveness of prostate cancer (PC) screening in the treatment of PC. Recently, with the increase in advanced and metastatic PCs, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening is again emphasized. However, no systematic study has examined the factors influencing PSA screening behavior. This study highlights the importance of socioeconomic factors, such as income, education, marital status, insurance status, and medical accessibility, in PC screening behavior. We conducted a search for articles related to PSA screening through Cochrane, Embase, and PubMed, and we chose 40 articles. And we divided factors associated with PSA screening into two groups, such as individual characteristic factors and socioeconomic factor. In addition to identifying individual factors that could affect both medical providers and patients, this review will also highlight the importance of socioeconomic factors including income, education, marital status, insurance status, and medical accessibility affecting PC screening behavior. Future guidelines should integrate these socioeconomic factors, particularly for patients with unfavorable socioeconomic status.
