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

Seminal vesicle (SV) and prostatic abscesses are rare urological infections. However, their effect on sexual function remains unknown. In the present study, we encountered a case of SV atrophy and ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) after conservative treatment. The patient was a 56-year-old man with fever who complained of pain during urination. He was diagnosed with SV and prostate abscesses and treated conservatively with antibiotics. One month after treatment, an EjD was observed, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed severe atrophy of the SV. Although various treatments for these symptoms, such as tadalafil and testosterone replacement therapy, were administered, the symptoms did not improve. Here, we report a case of EjD associated with SV and prostate abscesses. Factors leading to SV atrophy are unknown; however, complications should be noted.
