Correlation of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Prostate Volume, and Histology in Ugandan Males.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in African men and is increasing in low- and middle-income countries. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a tumor marker for prostate cancer. However, PSA alone does not provide sufficient sensitivity and specificity in assessing prostate malignancy. Previous studies have demonstrated a correlation between age, PSA, and prostate malignancy. Objective We sought to determine the correlation between age, PSA, prostate volume (PV), and histology. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of male patients at a rural Ugandan hospital who had undergone prostate biopsy. Age, presence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), PSA, and PV were recorded. A univariate logistic regression model was used to test the probability of PSA, PV, and age to predict benign or malignant prostate histology. A
