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

Background: Vitamin D is a modifiable risk factor in cancer and prostate diseases. In this study, we investigate the relationship between vitamin D and serum PSA in elderly men of Amirkola City. Methods: The current cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on elderly men participating in the cohort study in Amirkola. Demographic information including age, sex, marital status and occupation were recorded and blood samples (5 cc of blood) were taken to measure PSA and vitamin D. A p -value less than 0.05 is statistically significant. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 837 elderly men with mean age of 69.99 Conclusion: No significant relationship was found between PSA serum level and vitamin D level, but the existence of vitamin D deficiency in most of the elderly studied needs attention.
