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

backgroundAs prostate cancer (PCa) is a common cancer among older men, patients with PCa often show aging male symptoms (AMSs). This study aimed to investigate the preoperative AMSs of the late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) syndrome and the effects on them after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred eighty-eight patients who underwent RARP without androgen deprivation therapy were measured for serum free and serum total testosterone, and were preoperatively assessed for symptoms of the LOH syndrome using a questionnaire containing an AMS score. Patients with a preoperative AMS score higher than 37 and a serum free testosterone level lower than 8.5 pg/mL were classified as Group A, with the remaining classified as Group B. AMS scores were measured at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after surgery.

resultsOf the 188 patients, 49 and 139 patients were classified as Groups A and B, respectively. Preoperative AMS scores were 44.5 ± 8.2 in Group A and 28.6 ± 5.3 in Group B (

conclusionsOur results indicate that AMSs in PCa patients with the LOH syndrome can expect the same level of improvement as patients without it.
