Case Report: Chronic Prostatitis as an Extraintestinal Manifestation of Ulcerative Colitis.

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
Introduction: Lower urinary tract symptoms are common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease; however, the association between ulcerative colitis and chronic prostatitis remains underrecognized. Case Presentation: A 38-year-old man presented with frequent and painful urination unresponsive to the standard treatment of chronic prostatitis. He was subsequently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis based on persistent hematochezia and colonoscopy findings. Treatment with mesalamine and corticosteroids for ulcerative colitis led to improvements in both gastrointestinal and urinary symptoms. Conclusion: This case suggests a possible link between chronic prostatitis and ulcerative colitis, indicating that prostatitis might represent an extraintestinal manifestation. This association might be explained by shared inflammatory pathways and the prostate's anatomical proximity to the rectum. Clinicians should consider inflammatory bowel disease in male patients exhibiting refractory chronic prostatitis and concurrent gastrointestinal symptoms.
