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

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is a common disease among elderly men, for which safe and effective treatment strategies remain limited. The aim of the present study was to explore the potential effects of phosphodiesterase 5A3 (PDE5A3) silencing on human prostate smooth muscle cells (HPSMCs). HPSMCs were initially obtained from patients with BPH/LUTS. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting the PDE5A3 gene was subsequently transfected into cultured HPSMCs. The expression of PDE5A3 was measured using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. cGMP levels were then measured using western blotting and immunocytochemical staining and intracellular Ca
