Office-Based Procedures for BPH.
Review in Current urology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in men. A rapidly rising demand for safe and effective therapy for BPH has generated novel minimally invasive surgical treatments (MISTs). With multiple procedural options in the urology armamentarium for BPH therapy, we describe the current therapies and outcomes for office-based procedures for BPH including quality of life, voiding symptoms, and sexual function. RECENT
findingsThere are three FDA-approved MISTs (Rezūm, Urolift, and iTind) and three emerging MISTs for BPH. Preliminary data suggest improvement in voiding symptoms and quality of life while minimizing unwanted sexual side effects. Long term data is required on the durability and safety of MISTs for BPH. MISTs mark a paradigm shift in BPH management. Sandwiched between conservative medical management and conventional transurethral surgery, these novel technologies promise to combine efficacy approaching that of TURP while sparing the negative side effects. We envision a future where BPH can be diagnosed and treated in an office-based setting with a standard cystoscope in one procedure.
