Transurethral prostate surgery as a preventive method against progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with urodynamically proven bladder outlet obstruction.

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
objectiveThe present study was aimed to investigate (1) whether urodynamic factors are responsible for kidney damage in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and (2) whether transurethral prostate surgery for BOO can alleviate the damage to the kidneys.
methodsThis prospective observational study involved men aged 50-80 years. Prostate size and urodynamic test were performed during screening period. Laboratory tests to measure the glomerular filtration rate, the urinary protein to creatinine ratio and dipstick urinalysis were performed before and 6 months after the transurethral prostate surgery.
resultsSixty-seven patients completed the laboratory study among a hundred enrolled patients with urodynamically proven BOO. Among the urodynamic parameters, only low bladder compliance (lower than 60 mL/cmH
conclusionsLow bladder compliance in patients with BOO may be a risk factor for kidney damage. Transurethral prostate surgery to relieve BOO could be a preventive method against CKD progression in patients with low bladder compliance.
