Catheter Removal on the Same Day of Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate: Outcomes of a Pilot Study.
Article in Urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo determine if same day catheter removal is feasible in a select population after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).
methodsWe performed an analysis of patients undergoing HoLEP at our institution who underwent same-day catheter removal after HoLEP. All HoLEPs were performed with Moses 2.0 Optimized for BPH. Patients were dismissed from postoperative recovery unit to the clinic for catheter removal and voiding trial.
resultsTo date, 30 patients have undergone same day catheter removal. Median age is 68.6 years (interquartile range [IQR] 61.8-73.3) and preoperative prostate volume 81 mL (IQR 53-114.8). Median enucleation time was 39.5 minutes (IQR 30.5-53), morcellation time was 5 minutes (IQR 4-12 minutes), and enucleated specimen weight was 52.5 g (IQR 33-81). Twenty-seven (90%) patients successfully voided on the same day without requiring catheter replacement. All patients were catheter free by POD1. For patients who successfully passed their voiding trial, the median time from the end of the procedure to hospital discharge was 2.6 hours (IQR [2.1-2.9]) and from the end of the HoLEP to catheter removal was 4.9 hours (IQR [3.5-6.0]).
conclusionWe present for the first time that same day catheter removal is a feasible option in a select population of patients undergoing HoLEP. With more study, this has the potential for transforming the management of BPH, especially larger glands.
