Minimal invasive management of bladder neck contracture using Allium round posterior stent: the long-term results.
Article in Prostate international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to assess the long-term clinical efficacy of temporary, Allium round posterior stent (RPS) used for treatment of recurrent bladder neck contracture (BNC).
methodsRecords of 42 patients with recurrent BNC who underwent Allium RPS placement after bladder neck incision, between 2009 and 2019, were analyzed. After stent removal, the success criteria for Allium RPS treatment were defined as: no evidence of stricture on urethrogram or endoscopy; more than 12 ml/sec of urinary peak flow; and no recurrent urinary tract infections. Based on clinical success, patients were divided into two groups and compared. Clinical success was evaluated with particular regard to stent indwelling time and contracture etiology.
resultsThe mean ± standard deviation age, stricture length, and indwelling time were 66.7 ± 9 years, 2.4 ± 1.4 cm, and 7.7 ± 2.2 months, respectively. Median (range) follow-up was 59 (8-73) months. The etiologies of BNC in this cohort were 57.1% retropubic radical prostatectomy; and 42.9% transurethral resection of prostate. Overall clinical success was achieved in 64.3% and the success rates did not differ by etiology. The success rates were 54.2% and 77.8% (
conclusionOur data suggest that better clinical success was associated with longer indwelling time for stent in BNC treatment. In BNC management, Allium RPS treatment may be considered since its clinical efficacy is acceptable and tolerable.
