The Lifetime Risk and Prognosis of Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome in the Middle-Aged Chinese Males.
Article in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Knowledge is limited about the lifetime risk of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) occurrence in Chinese middle-aged males and the prognosis of CPPS patients with and without treatment. Noninstitutionalized Chinese males aged 40 to 81 years were enrolled in this study from a total of 76 local communities across 30 provinces of China. Information about the occurrence of CPPS, symptom relief, and previous treatment was collected. Based on completed answers to specific questions about self-reported and physician-diagnosed CPPS, the lifetime risk of CPPS occurrence was 25.3% (1,091 out of 4,315) in Chinese males aged 40 to 81 years. Over 77% of patients with CPPS had received treatment. The symptom relief rate was not significantly different between the treatment (57.3%, 142/248) and nontreatment (50.1%, 422/843) groups. Regardless of whether patients had received medical treatment, engagement in sedentary work and regular alcohol consumption had a significant negative influence, while marriage had a positive influence, on the prognosis of CPPS. A good prognosis could be achieved without treatment for some cases of CPPS, while others required a timely symptom-orientated treatment using adequate medications combined with lifestyle adjustment and follow-up.
