Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate: Patient Selection and Outcomes.
Review in Current urology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purpose of reviewHolmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a proven technique to alleviate bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Herein, we review factors relevant to selecting patients who will benefit from this procedure and expected outcomes. RECENT
findingsNew randomized trials have validated the excellent outcomes achieved by HoLEP in the management of BOO from BPH. Its success has been reproduced in a diverse array of patients including those on anticoagulation, with detrusor underactivity/acontractility, prostate cancer, and in the retreatment setting. HoLEP can be applied to the majority of patients with BOO from BPH regardless of prostate size, previous operations, or the condition of the detrusor. HoLEP can also be carefully considered in patients requiring anticoagulation or who are undergoing active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer. Immediate complication rate is low and incontinence is rare. Retrograde ejaculation occurs in approximately 75% patients. Furthermore, the retreatment rate for HoLEP is lower than reported for other endoscopic BPH procedures demonstrating its durability.
