Japanese giant benign prostatic hyperplasia: Sibling cases.
Article in IJU case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: The pathophysiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) remains incompletely understood but is likely multifactorial. Inflammation and metabolic factors may increase the risk of BPH. Several studies have evaluated the possible roles played by genetic factors. Here, we describe two cases of suspected familial BPH. Case presentations: We report the cases of two brothers, aged 77 and 69 years, with giant BPH. As both exhibited urinary retention, we performed Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) and obtained tissue samples weighing 276 g and 153 g, respectively. The postoperative courses were good. Conclusion: We experienced two cases of sibling BPH with volumes exceeding 200 mL and successfully treated them with HoLEP.
