Impact of metabolic syndrome on pre- and postoperative parameters in patients undergoing a HoLEP surgery.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the safety and success of the holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) surgery in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) versus those without MS who have similar prostate sizes. MATERIAL AND
methodsData from 120 patients who underwent HoLEP by a single surgeon between November 2015 and January 2018 were prospectively analyzed. Group 1 (n=40) and Group 2 (n=80) consisted of patients with and without MS, respectively. Preoperative-and postoperative third month control variables that were compared between the groups included hemoglobin (Hb) level; International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS); uroflowmetry parameters, such as maximum flow rate (Qmax) and average flow rate (Qave); post-voiding residue (PVR); voiding time (VT); and time to maximum flow rate (MVT).
resultsFor postoperative outcomes between the groups, only hospitalization time (HT) was significant among IPSS, Qmax, Qave, PVR, VT, MVT, Hb decrease, and catheterization time (p=0.03). A multivariate analysis showed that the triglyceride level positively correlated with HT among Group 1 patients (p=0.03). Perioperative outcomes, such as enucleated tissue weight, efficiency of enucleation, enucleation rate, efficiency of morcellation, enucleation time, morcellation time, total operation time, total laser energy, and laser efficiency, were compared as non-significant between the two groups (p>0.05).
conclusionWe found that HoLEP can be considered a safe and effective surgical treatment for patients with MS.
