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

purposeTo investigate the association between intraocular pressure (IOP) and serum testosterone according to the severity of obesity. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe investigated the correlation of IOP-testosterone according to the anthropometric obesity indices, such as obesity index (OI), body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference to height ratio (WtHR). Each of the obesity indices was classified into three groups: normal, overweight, and obesity. In additional, the association of IOP-testosterone was compared between testosterone 3.0 ng/mL below and above.

resultsTotal of 3,949 participants, the mean age was 58.86±10.06 years, mean IOP was 14.40±2.61 mmHg, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was 93.67±11.47 mmHg, and mean serum testosterone was 4.21±1.83 ng/mL. The association of MAP and IOP was significantly positively correlated according to the severity of obesity, but testosterone showed a significant negative relationship (p<0.05). IOP was significantly correlated with OI and BMI, but MAP and testosterone were correlated with all anthropometric obesity indices (p<0.05). The relationship of IOP and testosterone was significantly associated with only normal groups according to the degree of obesity (p<0.05). The IOP in patients with testosterone above 3.0 ng/mL was significantly higher than testosterone below 3.0 ng/mL (p<0.05).

conclusionsThe correlation of IOP-testosterone has a significantly positive relationship, in case of healthy men with normal weight by OI or BMI.
