Decrease of bone mineral density in Japanese patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 aim of this study was to conduct a cross-sectional survey of investigations related to the bone mineral density (BMD) of both non-metastatic prostate cancer (NMPC) patients who have not yet received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and patients receiving prolonged ADT in Japan. Japanese male patients with NMPC who received continuous ADT or who were planning to receive ADT were enrolled in this study. Lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). To assess patient characteristics, we searched medical records and questionnaires to determine whether they had any factors that could possibly affect BMD. A total of 230 patients with a mean age of 76.6 ± 6.4 years were evaluated. Of these, 151 (65.7%) were receiving ADT, and 79 (34.4%) had not yet received ADT. The mean duration of ADT was 37.4 ± 30.7 months. DEXA showed that as the duration of ADT increased, lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD decreased gradually (p = 0.0005 and p = 0.0014, respectively). Stepwise regression analyses revealed that the duration of ADT was a significant variable of both lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD. Moreover, as the duration of ADT increased, the prevalence of osteoporosis increased statistically (p = 0.0002). This study showed that ADT negatively affected lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD. It also showed a progressive increase in the prevalence of osteoporosis in Japanese NMPC patients with ADT.
