The future of lasers in urology.
Review in World journal of urology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The use of laser applications in urology has undergone significant advances over the past 20 years. Laser technology is now used in a wide variety of procedures, and has become the primary treatment modality or standard of care for many urologic conditions. Despite these advances, a number of challenges still face laser utilization in urologic practice. Recent work has illuminated the potential improvement and further optimization of this field. Improvements in types of lasers, the wavelength of energy used, optical fiber delivery systems, precision of laser application and cost reduction have served to further improve laser technology and extend the potential applications.
