Secular Trends in the Prevalence of Total and Latent Prostate Cancer over Half a Century According to Consecutive Autopsy Cases in a Japanese community: The Hisayama Study.

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 and objective: Our aim was to investigate secular trends in the period prevalence of total prostate cancer (PC) and latent PC (LPC) according to consecutive autopsy cases in a Japanese community. Methods: A total of 1355 deceased men aged >40 yr in a Japanese community underwent consecutive autopsy examination between 1962 and 2020. The period prevalence of total PC and of LPC was calculated for 15-yr intervals, and secular trends were analyzed using a logistic regression model. Key findings and limitations: The period prevalence of both total PC (from 1.7% in 1962-1976 to 19% in 2007-2020; Conclusions and clinical implications: The period prevalence of autopsy-proven total PC and LPC increased over the past 60 yr in a Japanese community. It is likely that this upward trend has involved additional factors beyond improvements in screening and diagnostic techniques or the aging of the population. Patient summary: We used data from autopsy examinations in a Japanese population to analyze long-term trends for the occurrence of prostate cancer. We found a significant rise in the occurrence of both diagnosed prostate cancer and latent prostate cancer over the past 60 years in this Japanese community.
