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

The term male adnexitis summarizes acute and chronic infections of the male urogenital tract. Chronic infections and inflammatory conditions are difficult to diagnose and the therapy has not been standardized. Therapy and management of complications has been clearly defined for acute urogenital infections. To date, antibiotic treatment in chronic infections and inflammatory conditions is only indicated when pathogenic bacteria can be retrieved from urogenital secretions.The usefulness of treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs is still debatable. One of the major concerns is the effect of urogenital infection on the fertility of the male. Although associations between urogenital infections and infertility have been shown for some entities, a general negative outcome of infectious events on male fertility appears to be unlikely.
