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

Gynecomastia is benign enlargement of glandular tissue in the male breast. It occurs due to an imbalance of estrogen and testosterone. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Physiologic gynecomastia commonly occurs in infants and during puberty and is self-limited. Gynecomastia may affect up to 50% of adult men over age 50 years old and can be related to underlying medical illness or caused by certain medications. Known causative agents include anti-androgenic and estrogenic drugs. Probable agents include alcohol and anti-ulcer, psychoactive, and antiretroviral medications. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are not commonly associated with the development of gynecomastia. This case presents an instance in which the NSAID, meloxicam, was the only identified variable in a patient who developed unilateral gynecomastia. His breast tenderness and abnormal exam resolved spontaneously within 4 weeks of cessation of meloxicam therapy.
