Remission of type 2 diabetes and pleiotropic effects of long-term testosterone treatment for "late-onset" hypogonadism: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
For obese type 2 diabetes patients, weight reduction is one of the most important measures but fails in most cases. Testosterone deficiency can be the reason for such failure. This case presents a 57-year-old man who was referred to a urologist due to benign prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction. He had type 2 diabetes, was overweight, and had hypertension and dyslipidemia. The blood test revealed testosterone deficiency. Under testosterone therapy, the patient lost 10 kg; cardiometabolic parameters returned to normal and lower urinary tract symptoms disappeared; complete remission of diabetes was recorded. Overweight and obese patients with type 2 diabetes should be tested for hypogonadism and testosterone therapy, if indicated, be considered. These patients can considerably benefit from testosterone therapy in terms of sustainable weight loss and a clinically significant reduction of cardiometabolic risk factors including complete remission of diabetes.
