Prostatic urethral lift for subjects in urinary retention (PULSAR): 12-Month results of a prospective controlled trial compared with real-world outcomes.
Article in BJUI compass, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of prostatic urethral lift (PUL) in acute urinary retention (AUR) patients within a controlled (PULSAR) and real-world setting (Real-World Retrospective study). Materials and methods: PULSAR was a 12-month prospective study of PUL in AUR patients ( Results: Seventy-three percent of PULSAR subjects were catheter independent and free from surgical reintervention at 12 months post-PUL. Success was associated with higher voiding efficiency during the perioperative period. Slightly higher catheter-independent rates (80%) were seen in RWRr patients; variables that influenced success included age <70 years, lower baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA), lower baseline post-void residual (PVR) and shorter pre-procedural catheter duration. Logistic regression of the combined PULSAR and RWRr retention groups revealed that procedural age <70 years and higher bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) were associated with success. Conclusions: Lower baseline PSA and PVR, younger age and shorter pre-procedure catheter durations drove successful outcomes in AUR patients undergoing PUL. Post-PUL voiding efficiencies may help ascertain long-term response to treatment.
