Androgen deprivation therapy and the risk of tenosynovitis in prostate cancer patients.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 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
objectivesAndrogen deprivation therapy (ADT) use in prostate cancer (PCa) patients has been reported to have an association with rheumatoid arthritis. We aimed to assess the impact of ADT on the subsequent risk of tenosynovitis.
methodsUsing data from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan between 2001 and 2013, 3309 patients with PCa were identified. Among them, 729 ADT patients comprised the study group with 729 matched non-ADT controls. We used a 1:1 propensity score matched analysis. The demographic characteristics and comorbidities of the patients were analyzed; Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the hazard ratios (HR) for the risk of tenosynovitis.
resultsThere were 224 (15.3%) patients with newly diagnosed tenosynovitis. Compared with non-ADT patients, ADT patients had a lower risk of subsequent tenosynovitis with an adjusted HR of 0.38 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28-0.51; P < 0.001].
conclusionsADT use apparently did not increase the risk of tenosynovitis in patients with PCa. Further studies are warranted to assess the clinical significance.
