Evaluation of the efficiency of transurethral enucleation with bipolar energy according to prostate volume for patients with benign prostate hyperplasia.
Article in Prostate international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: This study evaluated the efficiency and safety of transurethral enucleation with bipolar energy (TUEB) using a spatula loop according to prostate volume. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 398 patients who underwent TUEB for benign prostatic hyperplasia at a single tertiary hospital between August 2018 and December 2022. The patients were divided into three groups according to estimated prostate volume (ePV): ≤40 mL (n = 67), 40-80 mL (n = 200), and ≥80 mL (n = 131). To compare the efficiency of TUEB, perioperative parameters including TUEB and enucleation efficiencies, were calculated as enucleated tissue weight per operation time and enucleated tissue weight per enucleation time, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative functional outcomes such as the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality-of-life (QoL) score, maximum flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual urine volume (PVR), were also compared. Results: The IPSS total score, voiding sub-score, Qmax, and PVR improved after TUEB in all groups (all Conclusion: As prostate volume increases, the perioperative efficiency of TUEB is enhanced. Meanwhile, small prostates did not show significant differences in the improvement of functional outcomes and complications in comparison with larger prostates.
