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

This meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the incidence and risk of dizziness associated with novel endocrine therapies (androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, ARPIs) in patients with advanced prostate cancer. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases. After screening titles/abstracts and full-texts, 4 eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 4267 patients were included. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2) tool. Meta-analysis results indicated that ARPI-based therapy was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-grade dizziness (risk ratio [RR] = 1.60, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-2.00, I
