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

Hip fractures significantly affect mortality and quality of life in the elderly population. Although alpha-blockers are commonly prescribed for lower urinary tract symptoms after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), their long-term safety regarding fracture risk remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate whether long-term alpha-blocker use after TURP affects the risk of hip fractures requiring surgery in elderly men. This study included 6853 male patients aged ≥50 years who underwent TURP between 2000 and 2018. The alpha-blocker group (
