ReviewTherapeutic advances in urology
Modern advancements in minimally invasive surgical treatments for benign prostatic obstruction.
Review in Therapeutic advances in urology. 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
A wide variety of minimally invasive surgical techniques are now being offered for treating voiding lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). These options offer an alternative to both medical therapy and traditional surgical options. Minimally invasive surgical treatments in LUTS/BPO boast both day case and local anaesthetic options, with a potentially reduced side effect profile compared to traditional surgical interventions matching the needs for a range of patients. We provide a narrative review of minimally invasive surgical treatments available for BPO in terms of the technology, efficacy, safety, institutional recommendations, cost and potential future developments.
