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
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of the male sexual function following photoselective vaporization of the prostate treatment in different volume of prostates.
methodsOne hundred and twenty-eight consecutive patients with active sexual ability who underwent prostate vaporization with the green light laser during 2009-2011 were enrolled. We divided all patients into two groups group I (<70 ml, n = 58) and group II (≥ 70 ml, n = 70) according to the volume of prostate. Two group patients were assessed by International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. We measured the IPSS, QoL, Q max, PRV PSA at the baseline, postoperation and every visit. IIF-5 questionnaires were also collected in every visit.
resultOne hundred and twenty-eight patients were under successful operations. In the 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, main parameters following operation such as Q max PRV IPSS and QoL scores had significant improved compared to baseline. However, the group II was better than group I in every visits. As the 6, 12 and 24 months of questionnaires, group II had less IIEF scores than group I. To evaluate the adverse sexual outcomes of IIEF-5 lists, the erectile dysfunction and overall unsatisfied scores of group II were much more than group I in 6-24-month visits.
conclusionThe larger volume of prostate (≥ 70 ml) following PVP treatment has negative influence on sexual function in the long term (more than 6 months). The adverse sexual outcomes were significant increased after PVP in the prostate with more than 70-ml volume.
