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
We present a case of prostate cancer (PC) developing in a hypogonadal patient with well-controlled type 1 diabetes. The purpose of reporting this case is to emphasize that regular prostate examinations and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurements should be preformed in the diabetic male, even though the incidence of PC is lower in this group of patients. In addition, these examinations and tests need to be preformed even in the hypogonadal patient with diabetes since the presence of a low serum testosterone (T) level does not preclude the development of PC. This is because the development of PC is not related to serum androgen levels but to the androgen levels within the prostate, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels and not T levels within the prostate gland are responsible for the development of PC. In the hypogonadal male, intraprostatic DHT may be high since DHT can be formed from adrenal androgens, particularly androstenedione, through activation of 5α-reductase 2, which is the minority enzyme in the normal prostate but becomes the major enzyme in the formation and growth of PC.
