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

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are natural or synthetic compounds that are ubiquitous in the environment and in daily-usage products and interfere with the normal function of the endocrine system leading to adverse health effects in humans. Exposure to these chemicals might elevate the risk of metabolic disorders, developmental and reproductive defects, and endocrine-related cancers. Prostate cancer is the most common hormone-dependent cancer in men, and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related mortality, partly owing to a lack of knowledge about the mechanisms that lead to aggressive castration-resistant forms. In addition to the dependence of early-stage prostate cancer on androgen actions, the prostate is a target of oestrogenic regulation. This hormone dependence, along with the fact that exogenous influences are major risk factors for prostate cancer, make the prostate a likely target of harmful actions from EDCs. Various sources of EDCs and their different modes of action might explain their role in prostate carcinogenesis.
