Uneven impact of andropause symptoms on daily life domains in employed men: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of occupational health, 2025. 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
objectivesThis study examined the extent to which the severity of andropause symptoms affects daily functioning, specifically in work, housework, outings, social relationships, and leisure activities, among employed Japanese men.
methodsA cross-sectional internet-based survey was conducted in September 2024. Participants (n = 1054), aged 20-69 years, completed the Aging Males' Symptoms scale to evaluate symptom severity. Impacts on daily life were assessed using a 4-point scale. Multivariate logistic regression analyses estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs.
resultsAfter adjusting for relevant covariates, moderate and severe symptoms were significantly associated with greater difficulties in daily life. Compared with individuals with very mild symptoms, those with moderate symptoms had higher ORs for severe difficulties in work (OR = 7.2; 95% CI, 2.9-18.0), social relationships (OR = 17.7; 95% CI, 4.0-78.4), and housework (OR = 3.2; 95% CI, 1.2-9.0). Associations were stronger for severe symptoms: work (OR = 21.1; 95% CI, 8.0-55.5), social relationships (OR = 37.2; 95% CI, 7.9-174.3), and housework (OR = 8.5; 95% CI, 2.9-24.4). Severe symptoms were also linked to significant difficulties in outings (OR = 4.7; 95% CI, 1.8-12.4) and leisure (OR = 8.2; 95% CI, 3.0-22.5).
conclusionsAndropause symptoms significantly affect multiple areas of daily life, particularly work, social engagement, and household tasks. These findings underscore the importance of early recognition and intervention.
