Decreased Risk of Renal Calculi in Patients Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Renal calculi are common, with male predilection and androgen exposure potentially increasing the risk of renal calculi. Systemic effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) have been observed but the influence of ADT on renal calculi in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is not fully understood. We conducted this population-based study to evaluate the impact of ADT on the subsequent risk of renal calculi. We used the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan to analyze the incidences of renal calculi in ADT patients and non-ADT patients from 2001 to 2013. In total, 3309 patients with PCa were selected. After matching with 1:1 propensity-score analysis, 758 ADT patients with 758 matched non-ADT controls were enrolled in the final analysis. Demographic characteristics were analyzed and Cox regression analysis for calculating the hazard ratios (HR) was performed for the subsequent risk of renal calculi. Finally, 186 (186/1516, 12.3%) patients with diagnosed renal calculi were detected. ADT patients had a lower risk of subsequent renal calculi with an adjusted HR of 0.38 (7% vs. 17.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.28-0.53;
