Outcomes of prostatic urethral lift in a medically complex population at a veterans affairs hospital.
Article in BJUI compass, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Objective: The objective of this study is to report "real-world" outcomes of prostatic urethral lift (PUL) in a medically complex US military veteran population while employing liberalized procedural indications. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients who underwent PUL at our institution. There were no prostatic size requirements, patients were accepted on anti-platelet/anticoagulant therapy, no benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) medication washout was required, and there was no maximum post-void residual PVR. Pre- and post-operative International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), uroflowmetry, and PVR were recorded. Statistical comparisons were performed using simple Results: From 2013 to 2019, 91 patients underwent PUL. Mean age was 70 (range 55-92) years. The majority of our patients were classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 3 versus the general population at ASA class 2. Post-operatively, IPSS decreased by an average of 43% (23 to 13, Conclusions: PUL produced effective and durable results in our veteran population, including in patients with significant pre-operative bladder decompensation and those on antiplatelets/anticoagulants.
