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

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of thulium fiber laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) in the treatment of oversized (>200 mL) prostate.

methodsClinical data of 475 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients operated by the same urologist at Peking University First Hospital from January 2022 to May 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, all of whom were treated with thulium fiber laser, and the patients were divided into three groups according to the total volume of the prostate (TPV): group A (TPV < 100 mL), group B (100 mL≤TPV < 200 mL), and group C (TPV≥200 mL). The age of the patients in the three groups [(69.38±7.79) years, (69.64±8.69) years, (70.32±7.44) years], International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) [(22.7±1.9), (22.8±2.7), (25.8±3.7)], and the maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) [(7.9±2.7) mL/s, (9.3±4.3) mL/s, (9.9±3.3) mL/s] were not statistically significant (

resultsAll surgeries were successfully completed. The dif-ferences in enucleation time [30.0 (21.2, 44.5) min, 41.6 (31.2, 52.5) min, 45.1 (35.2, 50.0) min] and hospitalization time [(6.06±1.21) d, (6.15±1.50) d, (7.71±1.74) d] among the three groups were not statistically significant (

conclusionThe risk of blood transfusion and re-hemostasis increases with larger prostate volume, the efficiency of enucleation increases with the increase of prostate vo-lume, and thulium fiber laser prostate enucleation is safe and effective in the treatment of large-volume BPH.
