Sexual health and testosterone concentration in male lymphoma survivors: A systematic review.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Advancements in lymphoma treatment have increased the number of long-term survivors who may experience late effects such as impaired sexual function and testosterone deficiency. The aim of this review was to determine the prevalence of testosterone deficiency and sexual dysfunction among male lymphoma survivors; and associations between the two. A systematic search identified 20 articles for inclusion. The prevalence of low total testosterone was 0%-50 %, with mean values within reference levels, and for luteinizing hormone above reference levels in 0%-80 %. Four studies included SHBG and free testosterone, with mixed results. Compromised sexual health was found in 23%-61 %. Overall, total testosterone and sexual health were associated. The risk of bias (ROBINS-E and RoB 2) was high/very high, leading to low/very low overall confidence in the bulk of evidence (GRADE). Longitudinal studies evaluating biologically active testosterone and sexual health are needed, to develop evidence based standard procedures for follow-up of sexual health.
