Hyperestrogenism and low serum testosterone-17β-estradiol ratio are associated with non-bacterial male accessory gland inflammation.

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
This study evaluated the serum concentrations of the main sex hormones in selected patients with non-bacterial male accessory gland infection (MAGI). The results suggest that the mean serum concentrations of 17β-estradiol (method : chemiluminescence) in these patients are significantly higher compared to the controls (55.0 ± 15.0 vs. 26.5 ± 12.0 pg/mL; P <0.05) and the percentage of patients with MAGI and associated hyperestrogenism (according to the laboratory range used in this study) was significantly higher (25.00% vs. 3.00%; P <0.05). Moreover, the percentage of patients with non-bacterial MAGI and associated testosterone deficiency (serum total testosterone <2.49 ng/mL) was significantly higher (18.00% vs. 2.00%; P <0.05). Finally, patients with non-bacterial MAGI showed a significantly lower total testosterone-17β-estradiol ratio compared to the controls (72.7 vs. 173.0; P <0.05). The results of this study, with some limitations (in particular the method applied for the determination of serum concentrations of 17β-estradiol) represent in our opinion, a topic worthy of further investigation for a correct endocrinological characterization of these patients, useful for clinical practice.
