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

purposeProstate cancer (PCa) remains a significant health burden as one of the most common cancers among men worldwide. Given the growing evidence of lifestyle's impact on PCa progression, this study evaluates multidisciplinary experts' feedback on a novel questionnaire assessing lifestyle factors potentially influencing PCa progression.

methodsDeveloped through systematic literature reviews and insights from focus groups with clinical practice professionals, namely interns and specialists in urology and family medicine (FM), the questionnaire covers four domains: sociodemographic data, dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and clinical data.

resultsThe questionnaire was evaluated by 25 professionals from the fields of public health, epidemiology, urology, and family medicine (FM), as well as by two linguists and two clinical psychologists. The questionnaire was first evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale for adequacy, accuracy, completeness, format, interest, usefulness, and confidence. Subsequently, each domain was also assessed individually for adequacy, accuracy, and completeness, using the same Likert scale, with qualitative feedback refining the questionnaire. Overall, this questionnaire received positive evaluations, with a mean score of 4.47 ± 0.72 and a median score of 4 or higher for each assessment. All domains achieved median scores of 5 for adequacy and accuracy, though completeness scored slightly lower in the lifestyle domain. Qualitative feedback highlighted the questionnaire's relevance and clarity, while suggesting minor refinements.

conclusionThese findings underscore the potential of this structured data collection protocol for exploring lifestyle-PCa associations, supporting future case-control studies, and advancing targeted prevention and intervention strategies for PCa risk management.
