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

objectiveWe sought to determine if urodynamic study (UDS) predicted voiding outcomes in men with detrusor underactivity (DU) and benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) who underwent photovaporization of the prostate (PVP).

methodsBetween September 2010 and July 2015, 106 male patients with BPE and DU were identified. All patients underwent PVP. Urinary retention was noted by the preoperative necessity for an indwelling or intermittent catheter. Data collection included comorbidities, quality of life (QoL) scores, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), UDS and perioperative outcomes. UDS parameters included volume at first desire to void, volume at first urge to void, volume of severe urge, volume at capacity, compliance, detrusor contractions, maximum urinary flow rate (Q

resultsA total of 106 men were included in this analysis, who had urinary retention with a Foley catheter or clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) at the time of surgery. At baseline we found patients who voided had a detrusor pressure at Q

conclusionsThe patients with DU and BPE might be able to successfully void after undergoing PVP regardless of UDS findings. All men who voided had improved international prostate symptom score and QoL scores compared to baseline and these parameters were durable up to 12 months.
