Serum testosterone and prostate-specific antigen levels are major risk factors for prostatic volume increase among benign prostatic hyperplasia patients.
Article in Asian journal of urology, 2021. 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
objectiveBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases found among elderly men. Even though multiple risk factors of BPH have been identified in the past, the risk factors which have a direct impact on prostate volume have not been identified. In this study, we aim to determine the most significant contributing risk factors to prostate volume enlargement by analyzing possible associated risk factors previously studied.
methodsThis is a quantitative study with an analytical observational design, performed using a retrospective cohort approach. Total sampling was performed on 83 patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Sanglah General Hospital from January to February 2019. Bivariate analysis is performed to examine each variable's association with prostate volume followed by a multivariate analysis. All variables were reassessed with path analysis to measure the direct effects, indirect effects, and total effects on prostate volume.
resultsBivariate analysis shows that serum testosterone (R=0.208;
conclusionSerum testosterone and PSA levels are significantly associated with prostatic volume increase among BPH patients.
