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) is driven by hormonal and inflammatory mechanisms, yet emerging factors such as peroxiredoxin 3 (Prdx3), oxidative stress (OS), pyroptosis, and autophagy remain understudied. This review synthesizes their roles in BPH pathogenesis. We demonstrate that Prdx3 inhibits autophagy, exacerbates OS, and induces pyroptosis, ultimately promoting prostate cell proliferation. Paradoxically, while Prdx3 mitigates OS, its interaction with autophagy amplifies oxidative damage. These findings challenge conventional antioxidant therapies, suggesting that enhancing antioxidant capacity may inadvertently worsen BPH progression. Our analysis provides novel insights into therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways.
