Trends in benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery over the years: A multicenter 14-year retrospective study.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectiveThe aim of this study is to show the surgical trend over the past 14 years using the data from five major centers in Turkey with accumulated experience in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study included 94,954 patients with low urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) secondary to BPH. By using electronic databases, we identified 7,163 patients who underwent BPH surgery, including monopolar transurethral prostate resection (M-TURP), bipolar transurethral prostate resection (BTURP), transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP), open prostatectomy (OP), and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) from 2006 to 2019. The years were grouped as 2006-2010, 2011-2015, and 2016-2019.
resultsThe total number of outpatient treatments for BPH increased by 72.9% from 5,379 in 2006 to 9,302 in 2019. Until 2019, the annual number of surgeries increased from 375 to 937 (increasing 150%). All surgical approaches for BPH, except TUIP, were most frequently performed between the ages of 60 and 69. The rate of surgery including M-TURP, B-TURP, and TUIP was statistically different between 2006 and 2010, 2011 and 2015, and 2016 and 2019 (P < .001), except OP (P ¼ .071). The highest increase was observed in HoLEP in the first half of the 2010s compared to the second half of the 2010s. The rate of M-TURP decreased from 77.9% to 17.9% from 2016 to 2019.
conclusionWith the aging population, the number of patients diagnosed and treated with BPH is increasing. B-TURP as a resection technique and HoLEP as an enucleation technique replace M-TURP. Healthcare services and government spending should be organized according to these data.
