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

To review the role of inflammation in the occurrence and development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), we searched PubMed for the latest published articles up to February 2021 using the following key words: "benign prostatic hyperplasia", "inflammation", "pathogenesis" and "disease development". Articles were obtained and reviewed to provide a systematic review of the current progress of the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis and progression of BPH. Inflammation contributes to the initiation and maintenance of unregulated cell proliferation and is closely related to the occurrence and development of BPH. Its action pathways include tissue damage and subsequent chronic healing, autoimmunity, and coaction with androgens. During the progression of inflammation, macrophages, interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and other inflammatory-related substances aggregate locally and cause BPH through various biochemical pathways. At the same time, BPH can also counteract inflammation to expand its scope and aggravate the situation. Inflammation can independently affect the development of BPH in a variety of ways, and it can also interact with androgens. In the course of treatment, early intervention in the occurrence and development of inflammation in prostate tissue can slow down the progression of BPH. The combination of standard therapies and anti-inflammatory measures may provide valuable new ideas for the treatment of BPH.
