Population based trends in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Article in The Journal of urology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07552961 (Evaluating the Feasibility of a Comprehensive Prehabilitation Program for Use in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Patients Undergoing Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeLaser prostatectomy has increased in popularity in the last decade. However, traditional transurethral resection of the prostate remains common. To understand decisions about the use of laser prostatectomy vs transurethral prostate resection, we evaluated trends in transurethral surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia in an all payer data set, focusing on patient and provider factors associated with the receipt of laser prostatectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing Florida State Inpatient Database and Ambulatory Surgery Database, we identified patients who underwent laser prostatectomy or transurethral prostate resection from 2001 to 2009. We calculated surgery rates with time, stratified by procedure type. We used multilevel regression to examine patient (age, race and comorbidity level) and provider (surgeon volume) factors associated with the receipt of laser prostatectomy vs transurethral prostate resection.
resultsWhile the overall rates of transurethral surgery remained stable during the study period (p = 0.227), laser prostatectomy use increased 400% from 25 to 114 procedures per 100,000 men (p <0.001), replacing about half of all transurethral prostate resections. Patients were less likely to undergo laser prostatectomy if they were older (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.61-0.70) and less healthy (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.45-0.51). While these factors were predictive of surgery type, most of the variation in laser prostatectomy use (69%) was determined by the urologist seen by the patient.
conclusionsLaser prostatectomy use has increased in the last decade at the expense of transurethral prostate resection, driven largely by provider effects. However, elderly and more infirm patients are least likely to undergo it, raising concern about underuse in this population.
