Can androgen-deprivation therapy obviate the need of channel transurethral resection of the prostate in advanced prostate cancer with urinary retention? A prospective study.
Article in Arab journal of urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in relieving urinary retention in patients with advanced prostate cancer presenting with urinary retention or a high post-void residual urine volume (PVR). PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients with advanced prostate cancer with an indwelling catheter for acute/chronic urinary retention, or with a high PVR (>200 mL) who had not received any previous treatment were included in the study. Patients with localised prostate cancer eligible for receiving any therapy aimed at cure were excluded. All enrolled patients were managed by ADT (LHRH antagonist/agonist or orchidectomy) combined with α-adrenoceptor antagonist/combined therapy for at least 1 month to a maximum of 3 months; they were given their first trial of voiding without catheter after 1 month, and monthly thereafter.
resultsA total of 101 patients received ADT of which 97 were able to void successfully at the end of 3 months. In all, 27 patients could void in the first month, followed by 50 in the second month, and an additional 20 in the third month. There was a significant decrease in prostate volume, PVR, and International Prostate Symptom Score, and maximum urinary flow rates improved with normalisation of renal functions and resolution of upper tract changes noted on ultrasonography.
conclusionADT can relieve retention and decrease PVR over a period of time obviating the need for channel transurethral resection of the prostate.
