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
introductionWe aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), and photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) in management of storage and overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms complicating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in patients with moderately enlarged prostates.
methodsThe charts of patients with moderately enlarged prostates and BPH complicated by storage and OAB symptoms who were treated by TURP, HoLEP, and PVP at University of Cincinnati hospitals between March 2012 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed for changes in storage and OAB symptomatology, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), peak flow rates (Qmax), presence of detrusor overactivity (DO), and postvoid residual (PVR) from baseline to up to six months postoperatively.
resultsA total of 204 patients with moderately enlarged prostates and BPH complicated by storage and OAB symptoms were divided into three groups: group 1 (patients who underwent TURP, 89 patients), group 2 (those who underwent HoLEP, 64 patients), and group 3 (those who underwent PVP, 51 patients). TURP, HoLEP, and PVP were associated with significant improvement in urodynamics study (UDS) parameters, patient storage and OAB symptomatology, and IPSS from preoperatively to both three and six months postoperatively in BPH patients with moderately enlarged prostates, with relatively low procedure complication rate and postoperative need for either anticholinergic or procedure.
conclusionsTURP, HoLEP, and PVP are effective and reliable surgical procedures that can be relied upon for BPH patients with moderately enlarged prostates and storage or OAB symptoms, with comparable efficacy and relatively low procedure complication rate and postoperative need for anticholinergic or additional procedure.
