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

The steady-state concentrations of metronidazole and tinidazole in male genital tissues were analyzed in patients subjected to elective gonadal surgery. The nitroimidazoles were administered orally at 500 mg every 8 h, beginning 5 days before the operation. Eight hours after the last dose, the concentrations of tinidazole were 24.1 +/- 2.5 micrograms (mean +/- standard error of the mean)/g of prostatic tissue, 29.1 +/- 2.9 micrograms/g of vas deferens, 22.1 +/- 2.1 micrograms/g of epididymis, and 18.6 +/- 2.3 micrograms/g of testis. The corresponding values of metronidazole were 14.3 +/- 1.8 micrograms/g, 15.9 +/- 1.2 micrograms/g, 14.0 +/- 1.2 micrograms/g, and 12.5 +/- 1.7 micrograms/g, respectively.
