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

purposeTo investigate the effect of detrusor underactivity on the efficacy of TURP in patients with benign prostate obstruction.

methodsA retrospective study of 350 patients with benign prostate obstruction who underwent TURP was carried out. Different degrees of bladder outlet obstruction were grouped by the bladder outlet obstruction index. ROC curves were used to calculate the optimal cut-off point for the bladder contractility index used to divide the DU patients into mild DU and severe DU patients. The effect of DU on the efficacy of TURP in benign prostate obstruction patients was studied by comparing the subjective and objective parameters preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively between severe DU, mild DU and non-DU benign prostate obstruction patients in two obstruction groups (20 ≤ BOOI < 40 and BOOI ≥ 40).

resultsAccording to the ROC curve, the optimal cut-off point for the bladder contractility index was 82; thus, 69 patients were considered mild DU patients (82 ≤ BCI < 100), 67 patients were considered severe DU patients (BCI < 82), and 214 patients were considered non-DU patients (BCI ≥ 100). Both the postoperative subjective and objective parameters of the non-DU, mild DU and severe DU patients significantly improved in two obstruction groups. However, in the 20 ≤ BOOI < 40 group, the successful improvement rates for the IPSS, IPSS-S, IPSS-V, QoL and fQmax in the severe DU patients were only 38.2%, 38.2%, 44.1%, 41.2% and 38.2%, respectively.

conclusionPatients with varying degrees of benign prostate obstruction can benefit from TURP, but for patients with severe DU in the 20 ≤ BOOI < 40 group, TURP should be considered only after deliberation.
