1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionTransurethral enucleation resection of the prostate (TUERP) is one of the most important minimally invasive methods for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). There have been many reports on the therapeutic effects of TUERP. However, reports on prostate surgical capsule recognition and pathological analysis are rare.

aimTo compare the pathological features of the prostate surgical capsule between TUERP and suprapubic open prostatectomy (SOP). MATERIAL AND

methodsEighty samples were collected; samples 1-3 were prostate gland tissue, tissue adjacent to the prostate surgical capsule, and prostate surgical capsule tissue, respectively. HE staining was used to analyze the pathological components; the enucleation rate was compared between both groups.

resultsThe pathological features of the prostate surgical capsule for both groups were roughly the same: sample 1 was mostly gland, with lesser amounts of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue components; sample 2 was mostly fibrous tissue and a smooth muscle component and a small amount of glandular components, and, closer to the surgical capsule, more fibrous tissue, less glandular component; sample 3 was mainly fibrous tissue, and almost no glandular component; there were the same differences among samples 1-3 in both groups (p < 0.05). The enucleation rate for TUERP and SOP was roughly the same, about 58.2%, and there was no significant difference (p > 0.05).

conclusionsThe prostate surgical capsule in TUERP was similar to SOP, which consisted mainly of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue. Moreover, SOP combined with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) can treat BPH for a large volume of prostate (> 100 ml), but its effectiveness and safety need further large-scale clinical trials for confirmation.
