Germline testing for prostate cancer: current state and opportunities for enhanced access.
Review in EBioMedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Germline Testing (GT) for prostate cancer (PCA) is now central to PCA care and hereditary cancer assessment, with a rising role in PCA screening approaches. Guidelines have significantly expanded to include testing patients with metastatic PCA, advanced PCA or with high-risk features, and for males with or without PCA with a strong family cancer history to identify hereditary cancer syndromes for patients and their families. However, the expansion of GT has overwhelmed genetic counselling programs, necessitating the development and evaluation of alternate genetic delivery models. Furthermore, disparities in engagement in PCA GT are of major concern for impacting PCA-related and overall cancer-related outcomes for patients and their families. This review focuses on integrating PCA GT guidelines with implementation strategies and addressing PCA GT disparities to help inform current and future strategies to enhance the benefits of GT across populations.
