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

objectiveTo evaluate cardiovascular risk, metabolic profile, low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and sexual function in patients with nonfunctional pituitary macroadenoma (NFPMA) and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with testosterone therapy (TTh).

methodsA retrospective clinical study at a tertiary care center was performed in 101 men with NFPMA, HH, and TTh; metabolic profile, cardiovascular risk, International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS), and International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5) scores were evaluated before initiation of TTh and at the last checkup with TTh.

resultsAge was 49.3 ± 8.8 years;

conclusionTTh in young men with NFPMA improves LUTS, sexual function, and some metabolic parameters, and it is relatively safe in the prostatic context.
