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
introductionThe aim of this study was to assess the short-term functional outcomes and the efficacy of hemostasis performed with holmium laser performed following prostatic hydroablation with the Aquabeam MATERIAL AND
methodsBetween June 2019 and July 2020, 53 consecutive patients underwent Aquabeam
resultsFifty-three patients consecutively underwent aquablation and holmium laser hemostasis. Median age at surgery, median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and median prostate volume were 62 years (IQR: 57-66), 2.95 ng/ml (IQR: 1.6-4.8) and 55 ml (IQR: 43-65), respectively.Median operative time was 60 minutes (IQR: 40-80). Median catheterization time and length of hospital stay were 2 days (IQR: 1-3) for both parameters. The median hemoglobin decrease between the preoperative values and those assessed on the second day was equal to 1.25 g/dl (IQR: 0.7-1.85).Continence rate was 100% at catheter removal. Thirty-six patients (72%) reported anterograde ejaculation preservation. IPSS (6, 3-21) and Qmax (19, 9-26) changed dramatically between baseline and 3 months follow-up.
