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

Background: African American men (AAM) have persistently had the highest incidence and mortality rates for prostate cancer (PrCa) in the United States. Considering that current guidelines recommend the practice of shared decision-making to determine whether or not to undergo a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test for the early detection of PrCa, this study focuses on the identification of key factors influencing AAM decisions regarding having or not having PSA screenings. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 152 AAM who completed study surveys. Statistical analysis included frequencies, means, and distributions and methods to test for differences in knowledge confidence, satisfaction and, self-efficacy when making decisions. Results: 94% of participants would get a PSA test if offered, only 57% knew that the PSA test is a blood test. Participants who reported having had a PSA test before the baseline had significantly higher mean scores than their counterparts in the knowledge about the definition of the PSA and biopsy exams ( Conclusions: Significant differences in the satisfaction scale by clinical site (
