Joint Biochemical and Genetic Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification.
Article in The Journal of urology, 2026. 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
purposeOverdiagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) through PSA testing at short intervals remains common. While baseline serum PSA abundance < 1 ng/mL warrants infrequent screening, it is critical to foster advanced diagnostic practices for men with baseline serum PSA ≥ 1 ng/mL, who are at higher risk for clinically significant disease. We investigated whether common germline variants could enhance screening recommendations in men with PSA ≥ 1 ng/mL. MATERIALS AND
methodsPolygenic hazard scores (PHS) for the risk of PC diagnosis (PHS290) were computed in a diverse, matched, prospective cohort of 310 men with baseline PSA ≥ 1 ng/mL with or without PC. Regression models were used to predict PC clinical risk groups with PHS290, while incorporating clinical covariates and an existing 5-year risk calculator score.
resultsPHS290 stratified individuals with PSA ≥ 1 ng/mL into risk groups and identified men with intermediate-risk and high-risk PC. Adding PHS290 to our model for predicting time to intermediate-risk and high-risk PC improved predictions over an existing prebiopsy 5-year risk calculator.
conclusionsOur study demonstrates the potential of genetic scores to advance screening guidance. The PC risk stratification capabilities of molecular biomarkers in tiered screening strategies merit further study in large cohorts.
