Focal bladder neck cautery associated with low rate of post-Aquablation bleeding.
Article in The Canadian journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
INTRODUCTION To determine if focal bladder neck cautery is effective in reducing bleeding following prostate tissue resection for benign prostatic hyperplasia using Aquablation. MATERIALS AND
methodsConsecutive patients at 11 countries in Asia, Europe and North America who underwent Aquablation for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia between late 2019 and January 2021 were included in the analysis. All patients received post-Aquablation non-resective focal cautery at the bladder neck.
resultsA total of 2,089 consecutive Aquablation procedures were included. Mean prostate size was 87 cc (range 20 cc to 363 cc). Postoperative bleeding requiring transfusion occurred in 17 cases (0.8%, 95% CI 0.5%-1.3%) and take-back to the operating room for fulguration occurred in 12 cases (0.6%, 95% CI 0.3%-1.0%). This result compares favorably (p < .0001) to the previously published hemostasis transfusion rate of 3.9% (31/801) using methods performed in the years 2014 to 2019.
conclusionsIn prostates sizes averaging 87cc (range 20 cc-363 cc), Aquablation procedures performed with focal bladder neck cautery that required a transfusion postoperatively occurred in a remarkably low number of cases.
