Photoselective sharp enucleation of the prostate with a front-firing 532-nm laser: an innovative surgical technique for benign prostatic hyperplasia-a single-center study of 475 cases.

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
purposeTo describe the novel technique of photoselective sharp enucleation of the prostate (PSEP) with a front-firing 532-nm laser and evaluate its efficacy and safety.
methodsA seven-step standardized surgical procedure was established, and PSEP was performed in an en bloc or lobulate manner according to the size of the middle lobe of the prostate. The following clinical data of 583 patients who underwent PSEP in our center from November 2016 to May 2018 were retrospectively reviewed: maximum flow rate (Q
resultsOf the 583 patients, 475 had complete clinical information and were included in the study. The median operation time was 39 min. There were significant improvements in the Q
conclusionsPSEP is effective and safe for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The innovative technique integrates the excellent hemostatic property of the 532-nm laser and the high efficiency of enucleation. It decreases the occurrence of postoperative incontinence associated with "blunt" enucleation of 532-nm laser and eliminates the lack of tissue samples problem associated with photoselective vaporization of the prostate.
