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

backgroundThe prominent symptoms of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) are urogenital pain, lower urinary tract symptoms, psychological problems, and sexual dysfunction. Traditional pharmacological treatments have poor efficacy and more untoward reaction and complications. Magnetic vibration magnetoelectric therapy is a non-invasive form of physiotherapy. Nevertheless, its effectiveness in improving urinary discomfort and relieving pain in patients requires further exploration.

aimTo investigate the clinical efficacy of the magnetic vibration magnetoelectric therapy instrument in the treatment of chronic prostatitis (CP)/ CPPS.

methodsSeventy patients with CP/CPPS were collected from the outpatient clinic and ward of the Department of Male Medicine, Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and were treated with magnetic vibration magnetoelectric therapy once a day for a period of 14 d. National Institutes of health-chronic prostatitis symptom index (NIH-CPSI), international index of erectile function 5 (IIEF-5), premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), patient health questionnaire, the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome (TCMS) scores were performed before and after treatment.

resultsThe total effective rate of treatment was 58.5%, and the total NIH-CPSI score, pain symptoms, voiding symptoms, quality of life, IIEF-5, PEDT, GAD, PCS and TCMS scores all decreased significantly (

conclusionMagnetic vibration magnetotherapy is effective in improving urinary discomfort, relieving pain, improving quality of life, improving sexual dysfunction and relieving negative emotions such as anxiety in patients with CP/CPPS.
