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

Prostate cancer is among the more common and less lethal malignancies, yielding a large population of survivors. The incidence of hypogonadism increases in the same elderly population of men who most frequently develop prostate cancer, and the risk of becoming hypogonadal is increased further by prostate cancer therapy. The relative safety of replacing testosterone to reduce symptoms of hypogonadism in men who have been treated for prostate cancer is not well established. We review the available data, provide suggestions for approaching the management of prostate cancer survivors who suffer hypogonadal symptoms, and describe other diagnostic and therapeutic uses of testosterone that have been employed in patients with prostate cancer.
