One finding, on its own
A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.
Decreases serum prostate-specific antigen
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Finding“Before intervention, PSA and serum steroid hormone levels were not statistically different between groups; after intervention, the finasteride group had significantly lower PSA (3.2 ng/mL versus 5.2 ng/mL; P < 0.001) and DHT levels (10 ng/dL versus 27 ng/dL; P < 0.001) and a significantly higher testosterone level (382 ng/dL versus 327 ng/dL; P = 0.04) than the placebo group.”
