Evaluation of perioperative risk factors for bladder neck contracture after bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate.

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
purposeBladder neck contracture after transurethral resection of the prostate is a common complication but without clear predisposing factors. In this prospective study, we evaluated the perioperative risk factors associated with bladder neck contracture after bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate.
methodsThe study included 391 patients who were admitted for bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate between October 2020 to October 2023 by three experienced surgeons. Forty three patients had bladder neck contracture and their perioperative parameters were compared with randomly chosen 172 patients without bladder neck contracture.
resultsThere were no significant differences between the studied groups regarding the general and present history characteristics. Re-catheterization after transurethral resection of the prostate, post-operative recurrent urinary tract infection, resection speed, and associated urethral stricture were significantly higher among the bladder neck-contraction group (P < 0.05), while total PSA, total prostate weight, post void residual urine volume, resected gland weight, resection time and catheter duration were significantly lower among the bladder neck-contraction group (P < 0.05).
conclusionBladder neck contracture after bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate is more common among patients with small fibrotic prostate, low total PSA, small post- void residual urine volume, those with a higher incidence of post-operative recurrent urinary-tract infection and patients with a higher incidence of re-catheterization after transurethral resection of the prostate.
