ABO Blood Type and Risk of Peyronie's Disease in Japanese Males.
Article in The world journal of men's health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeAlthough multiple mechanisms associated with Peyronie's disease (PD) have been proposed, details regarding etiologic factors, especially genetic, remain unclear. We examined the relationship of the ABO blood type system, known as a genetic factor associated with susceptibility to a number of diseases, with PD in Japanese males. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe compared 202 Japanese PD patients treated with surgery at our hospital between March 2004 and December 2019 with 846 randomly selected non-PD male patients who underwent urological surgery during the same period regarding distribution of ABO blood types. In addition, we assessed the risk of PD according to blood type group among all study participants using odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) calculations.
resultsThe distribution of individual blood types in the control group was nearly the same as that in the general Japanese population. In contrast, O, A, B, and AB blood types were noted in 37.6%, 36.1%, 14.9% and 11.4%, respectively, of the PD patients, which was significantly different from the control group, where blood type O was found in 29.1% and B in 23.2% (p<0.05). Our results showed that as compared with patients with blood group B, those with another blood type were more likely to develop PD, among which type O had a significantly increased OR of 2.018 (CI, 1.271-3.205).
conclusionsThese are the first reported results showing that ABO blood type may be associated with risk of PD, though further investigations are needed.
