Safety, efficacy and reliability of 180-W GreenLight laser technology for prostate vaporization: review of the literature.
Review in World journal of urology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 180-W XPS GreenLight laser technology for photoselective prostate vaporization. PATIENTS AND
methodsA systematic search of the electronic databases was performed. Inclusion criteria were: full-text peer-reviewed journal article, with original data analysis that evaluates the feasibility and the outcome only of 180-W XPS GL laser system. Data at baseline and during follow-up have been taken into account. Intra-operative and postoperative (functional results and complications) data were collected and analyzed.
resultsWe found 165 articles in our research, among which only nine articles were selected (total 991 patients). A certain grade of variability is present in all the studies in terms of scientific design, sample size and methods of reporting functional results and complications. Nevertheless, a homogenous benefit for patients in terms of symptom score improvement, post-void residual volume reduction and urinary max flow rate improvement was shown. According to Clavien-Dindo classification, 292 (83.7%) adverse events were recorded ≤ grade 2. Adverse events ≥ grade 3 were 57 (16.3%), among which bleeding, urinary retention and residual obstructive tissue represented the wide majority. No mortality was reported. Male sexual function was poorly investigated.
conclusionsThe 180-W XPS GL laser technique is feasible and safe, with a remarkable clinical benefit. Long-term evidence on outcomes and complications are suitable even in the sphere of male sexuality.
