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

There are many options available in the surgical treatment of outlet obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While most patients exhibit improvement in their lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) following intervention, up to 35 % of patients may exhibit persistent or recurrent LUTS. In the present review, we discuss the patho-physiology of LUTS after bladder outlet surgery and discuss considerations in evaluating and managing such patients. We highlight the crucial role of thorough evaluation with complete urodynamics testing, as pure obstruction only accounts for a minority of post-operative LUTS. Hence, detrusor contractility, detrusor overactivity, urethral sphincter function, and urinary incontinence must be assessed to appropriately guide subsequent therapy and improve patients' quality of life.
