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

Dystrophic calcification (DC) after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is rare. In our patient, bipolar TURP was performed by an experienced urologist, without complications. Seven months later, he developed a tingling urethral sensation, difficulty in urination, urgency, and perineal discomfort. Computed tomography (CT) showed a high-density area occupying the prostatic resection cavity. Re-surgery involved laser ablation of the DC. Two months later, the DC recurred. At the second re-surgery, the DC was removed without using electricity. Repeat CT at 13 months showed near complete disappearance of the DC. Wound healing might interrupt the vicious cycle of DC recurrence.
