Role of Thulium Laser and Holmium Laser in the Surgical Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Iranian journal of public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Background: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are generally treated holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP). Therefore, it is important to analyze the several surgical procedures used for benign prostatic hyperplasia in terms of their role, effectiveness and safety. Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis by searching databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Finally, we selected 10 papers including 2,456 patients treated with of thulium laser and holmium laser in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. We did the analysis using RevMan 5.0 with the selected studies until 26 October 2023. Results: ThuLEP resulted in a smaller reduction in haemoglobin (MD: -0.22, 95%CI -0.32 to -0.13, Conclusion: ThuLEP has greater security and faster growth than HoLEP.
