The Clinical Relevance of Tumor Biomarkers in Prostate Cancer-A Review.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in men worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop accurate, accessible biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring. Tumor markers, which can be measured in blood, urine, or tissue, provide valuable information regarding tumor presence, progression, and response to treatment. This review provides a comprehensive overview of routinely used diagnostic and emerging biomarkers for prostate cancer, based on a systematic MEDLINE/PubMed search. Key biomarkers analyzed include PSA and its derivatives, PCA3, and TMPRSS2-ERG, as well as genomic tests such as Prolaris, Decipher, and ConfirmMDx, and liquid biopsy-based tests such as ExoDx Prostate and SelectMDx. This narrative review demonstrates that although PSA remains the mainstay of prostate cancer diagnosis, emerging molecular and genomic biomarkers are enhancing diagnostic specificity, refining risk stratification, and enabling more personalized patient care. The integration of routinely used and novel biomarkers can improve early detection, optimize treatment decisions, and ultimately improve outcomes of prostate cancer patients.
