Targeting the brain-gut-prostate axis in chronic prostatitis: mechanisms and therapeutics.
Synthesis in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), a refractory urinary system disorder, is closely associated with dysregulation of the brain-gut-prostate axis. Emerging evidence highlights the pivotal role of gut microbiota dysbiosis and its bidirectional interactions with the neuroimmune system in CP/CPPS pathogenesis. This systematic review integrates perspectives from microbiomics, neuroimmunology, and metabolomics to propose a theoretical framework of the brain-gut-prostate axis and multi-dimensional therapeutic strategies targeting this axis. By transcending conventional localized anti-inflammatory approaches, these strategies aim to address clinical resistance and phenotypic heterogeneity. Mechanistic insights into microbiota-derived metabolites (e.g., short-chain fatty acids, SCFAs), neuroendocrine signaling (e.g., thyrotropin-releasing hormone, TRH), and immune crosstalk (e.g., Th17/Treg imbalance) are explored, alongside innovative therapies such as microbiome modulation, neural interventions, and immune regulation. This holistic paradigm not only provides new mechanistic insights but also offers promising avenues for personalized management and translational research in CP/CPPS, potentially overcoming current therapeutic bottlenecks.
