Clinical outcomes of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: A large prospective registry-based patient cohort study under regular follow-up protocol.
Article in Investigative and clinical urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
purposeTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in a large prospective cohort of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through systematic follow-up at a single institution. MATERIALS AND
methodsClinical outcomes were analyzed between August 2008 and June 2022. Patients were followed-up at 2 weeks, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively.
resultsA total of 3,000 patients (mean age, 69.6±7.7 years) underwent HoLEP. Baseline total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was 19.3±7.7 and maximum flow rate (Qmax) was 9.4±4.8 mL/s. Mean total prostate volume was 67.7±3.4 mL. Total operation time was 60.7±31.5 minutes, and catheterization time was 1.0 days (range, 1.0-1.0 days). At 6 months postoperatively, the total IPSS decreased to 6.6±5.8 and Qmax increased to 22.2±11.3 mL/s. Complications at 6 months postoperatively included stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in 36 patients (1.9%), urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) in 25 (1.3%), bladder neck contracture (BNC) requiring transurethral incision (TUI) in 16 (0.5%), and urethral stricture in 29 (1.0%). Eleven patients (0.4%) with prostatic fossa stones required stone removal. Sixty-one patients (2.0%) required secondary surgery (transurethral coagulation, 16 [0.5%]; TUI for BNC, 16 [0.5%]; stone removal for prostatic fossa stones, 11 [0.4%]; and endoscopic internal urethrotomy for urethral stricture, 18 [0.6%]).
conclusionsMid-term follow-up results after HoLEP in BPH patients showed excellent efficacy and low complication rates. Unlike previous reports, the incidence of SUI and UUI after HoLEP was low, but the occurrence of
