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

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is a disease that is mainly characterized by three parameters: pain in the suprapubic and pelvic area, presence or absence of white blood cells in expressed prostatic secretions, and voiding disorders of various degrees. The causative factors underlying this very common condition are poorly understood. Therapeutic options (ie, antimicrobial treatment) often are based on the presence of an inflammatory reaction in the expressed prostatic secretions, but the benefit of recurring or prolonged courses of antimicrobial agents is highly variable. Observations have been made regarding functional and structural changes in the lower urinary tract that are suggestive to have an impact on the pathogenesis of chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
