Robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy versus holmium laser enucleation of the prostate for large benign prostatic hyperplasia: A single-center preliminary study in Korea.

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
Background: Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) are the two most important therapeutic modalities for large benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, there are currently no studies comparing these two treatments in a Korean setting. In this study, the authors seek to compare the safety and efficacy associated with these procedures. Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed 59 male patients who underwent HoLEP (n = 26) or RASP (n = 33) at single center. The following preoperative data were compared: age, the International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS), transrectal ultrasonography, uroflowmetry, and hemoglobin. Intraoperative data included operation time and specimen weight. Postoperative data included change in IPSS, uroflowmetry, and hemoglobin. Length of stay, catheterization time, and complications were also reviewed. Results: No significant differences between the two groups were found in terms of age, total prostate, and transitional volume. Postoperatively, both groups showed similar improvement in the maximum flow rate, post-void residual urine, IPSS, and quality of life. Intraoperatively, there were no differences regarding operation time and resected prostate volume. Catheter removal time and length of stay were significantly shorter in the HoLEP group than the RASP group. In addition, postoperative hemoglobin changes were significantly lower in the HoLEP group. However, incontinence rates at 1 month and 2 months postoperative in the RASP group were lower than the HoLEP group. Conclusions: Both HoLEP and RASP can produce excellent postoperative outcomes. However, catheter removal time, length of stay, and hemoglobin changes were more favorable in the HoLEP group. On the other hand, postoperative incontinence was more favorable in the RASP group. These factors must be heavily considered when deciding surgical the method for large benign prostatic hyperplasia.
