1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in expressed prostatic secretions (EPSs) of patients with chronic prostatitis (CP) and the expression of prostatic exosomal protein (PSEP) in urine, and to evaluate its correlation with the condition.

methodsUrine samples from 310 patients with CP (101 National Institutes of Health [NIH] II, 112 NIH IIIa, and 97 NIH IIIb, classified according to the US National Institutes of Health) and 110 control group subjects were collected. The samples were tested for PSEP by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). At the same time, EPSs in 60 patients from 310 patients with CP and 20 control group subjects were collected. The levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in the collected samples that EPS were determined by double antibody sandwich ELISA. SPSS 23.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis of the measured data.

resultsThe level of PSEP in patients with CP was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < .001). The levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in the EPS of patients with NIH II and NIH IIIa CP were higher than those of the patients with NIH IIIb and the control group (P < .001). There was a positive correlation between PSEP and IL-10 and TNF-α, while TNF-α and IL-10 were also positively correlated.

conclusionPSEP, TNF-α, and IL-10 may serve as a basis for the classification diagnosis of CP. Their combination can provide more accurate diagnostic information for clinical CP typing.
