1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe postoperative bleeding complications associated with laser surgery of the prostate and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) were compared.

methodsWe used the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to conduct an observational population-based cohort study. All eligible patients who received transurethral procedures between January 2015 and September 2018 were enrolled. Patients who received laser surgery or TURP were matched at a ratio of 1:1 by using propensity score matching, and the association of these procedures with bleeding events was evaluated.

resultsA total of 3302 patients who underwent elective transurethral procedures were included. The multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that diode laser enucleation of the prostate (DiLEP) resulted in significantly higher emergency room risks within 90 days after surgery due to clot retention than the Monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (M-TURP) (Hazard Ratio: 1.52; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.06-2.16,

conclusionsAmong the investigated six transurethral procedures for Benign prostatic hyperplasia, PVP and ThuVARP were safer than M-TURP because bleeding events and clot retention were less likely to occur, even in patients receiving anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy. However, DiLEP and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) did not result in fewer bleeding events than M-TURP.
