Comparison of thermal injury depth of the prostate between plasma kinetic electrode, holmium laser, green light laser and Nd:YAG laser.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivePlasmaKinetic electrode, holmium laser, green laser and Nd: YAG laser have been used for treating benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). To compare the pathological changes of thermal injury by these different devices. MATERIAL AND
methodsTissues donated by several male patients with prostate cancer who have written a consent. The tissues were diced them into small squares with 1 cm long on a side. Cutting experiments were performed in the normal temperature circulating water environment, the specimens of the prostate tissue were fixed in 4% formalin. The sections were then undergone HE and NADH-NBT staining.
resultsThe penetration depths and coagulation zone of tissue after treatment were ranked as Nd:YAG laser > plasma Kinetic electrode > green light laser > holmium laser respectively.
conclusionHolmium laser might have less thermal damage to tissue, although it still needs more research including clinical study. Our results will provide clinicians with some alternative basis for the application.
