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) is a new alternative method for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); however, most surgeons are hesitant to use this new technique due to its steep learning curve. Notably, most beginners start with the traditional multi-incisional method rather than the Methods: A clinical development project was established at Department of Urology, Affiliated Nantong Rehabilitation Hospital of Nantong University in December 2019 to promote HoLEP. The study included 1st 132 consecutive patients treated by a single surgeon between January and December 2020. The overall pre-, peri-, and post-operative metrics were documented and evaluated. The 132 patients were divided into Group A (1st 50 patients) and Group B (the following 82 patients), and these two groups were compared to each other. Results: No conversion of operative methods occurred. The major significant differences between Groups A and B related to the enucleation time and enucleation efficiency. We found that 20-30 procedures needed to be performed for the surgeon to become relatively comfortable with the Conclusions: The
