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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to classify and analyze postoperative complications under a new inspection method. This study assessed all patients who presented to the urologic ward within the first 3 months after their surgery.
methodsA total of 170 patients suffered from complications due to the surgery; 29 patients experienced complications that were not directly correlated with the surgery. Age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, the emitted laser energy of the 180 Watt XPS™ GreenLight laser measured in joules, and the complications which led to the renewed hospitalization such as hematuria, urinary retention, and infection were analyzed and compared in the two groups of patients.
resultsMost complications that occurred were urinary retention and hematuria (50.6% and 49.4% of all patients, respectively). Of the patients with hematuria, 86.75% were under anticoagulant therapy medication.
conclusionCompared with the reference approval study (Goliath trial) that included 135 multicentric patients (14.07% of patients presented with a complication classified as Clavien-Dindo II), the rate of complications was similar. This outcome is surprising because the patients treated with the GreenLight laser in the present study were classified as geriatric patients not only according to their age but also in their ASA score which is an indication of multiple other pathologies and administered medications. To achieve long-term postoperative success for these patients, the interface between the ambulatory and the hospital care should be optimized.
