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

Objectives: The effect of physical activity on prostate cancer is controversial. We aimed to investigate the effect of physical activity on prostate cancer detection and functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy. Methods: Between 2019 and 2020, 166 patients who underwent prostate biopsy were included. The physical activity scores of patients were evaluated by the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) questionnaire before the procedure. PASE scores were compared between the patients with and without prostate cancer and local and metastatic aggressiveness of cancer. Patients who underwent radical prostatectomy were followed up for 12 months to analyze the effect of physical activity on erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence (UI). Results: There was no significant difference between patients with and without prostate cancer in terms of PASE scores (187.7 vs. 195.5, p=0.665). PASE scores were also similar when separated according to D'Amico risk classification and metastatic events. Twenty-seven patients who underwent radical prostatectomy were evaluated in terms of functional outcomes at the first year of surgery. PASE scores of the patients with severe ED were lower than mild-moderate ED, but no statistically significant difference was observed (197.0 vs. 268.5, p=0.267). Patients with persistent UI had a significantly lower PASE score overall than continent patients (128.3 vs. 271.1, p=0.001), and PASE score was the only independent predictor of UI following radical prostatectomy. Conclusion: The effect of physical activity on prostate cancer development or aggressiveness could not be determined. Physical activity was associated with a reduced risk of UI following radical prostatectomy.
