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

The evidence that diet and lifestyle play an important role in prostate health and disease is now clear. The clinical research indicates that a minimally processed, plant-food-based diet that is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and includes diverse sources of phytonutrients is associated with improved prostate health and reduction in prostate cancer risk, as defined by PSA levels. A Mediterranean diet and the program developed and studied under the direction of Dr. Dean Ornish are two examples of effective approaches. The mechanisms by which specific diet and lifestyle intervention improves prostate health are still under investigation. There is, however, increasing evidence that dietary components that favorably influence the composition of the intestinal microbiome have significant impact on androgen exposure to the prostate, and contribute to the reduction in both prostate cancer risk and progression.
