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

Purpose: To analyse the clinical efficacy of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with doxycycline in the treatment of type IIIA chronic prostatitis. Methods: Eighty patients who met the diagnostic criteria of type IIIA chronic prostatitis in our hospital between February 2020 and February 2022 were selected and equally divided into the drug group and electrical stimulation group according to the random number table method. The drug group was treated with medication alone for 4 weeks; the electrostimulation group was treated with biofeedback electrostimulation on top of medication for 12 weeks. The expressed prostatic secretious (EPS) routine (lecithin bodies, white blood cells) and the maximum urinary flow rate ( Results: After treatment, the number of lecithin bodies and white blood cells in EPS improved significantly in both groups compared to before, and both the electrical stimulation group was better than the drug group ( Conclusion: Biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with doxycycline in the treatment of type IIIA chronic prostatitis can synergistically improve the patient's inflammation level, urinary dysfunction, relieve pelvic floor tension myalgia, and improve their quality of life, opening up new avenues for the rehabilitation of patients with type IIIA chronic prostatitis.
