Role of Aromatase Inhibitors in Managing Hypogonadism in Adult Males Related to Obesity and Aging: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. 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
No meta-analysis is available which has analysed the role of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) in hypogonadism in adult males related to obesity and aging. This meta-analysis intended to address this knowledge gap. Electronic databases were searched for studies involving adult males with hypogonadism. The primary outcomes were changes in total testosterone (TT). Secondary outcomes were alterations in oestradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), and side-effect profile. From initially screened 177 articles, data from three randomised controlled trials(RCTs) (118 patients) and three uncontrolled studies(52 patients) were analysed. AIs were associated with significantly greater improvement in TT after three months [mean difference (MD) 7.08 nmol/L (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 5.92-8.24);
