1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Explore the clinical application value of urethral mucosal pretreatment at the tip of the prostate in preventing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP). Methods: Eighty-seven patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treated with ThuLEP from June 2021 to December 2022 were divided into two groups. Of these, 42 patients (group A) underwent conventional ThuLEP and 45 patients (group B) were enucleated after pretreatment of the urethral mucosa. At the tip of the prostate, pretreatment of the urethral mucosa consisted of pushing the gland separately on both sides at the level of the verumontanum and cutting off the mucosa near the external urethral sphincter clockwise and counterclockwise. The perioperative and postoperative follow-up indicators [operation time, hemoglobin reduction, complications, Qmax, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), and post-void residual (PVR) volume] of the two groups of patients were collected and compared. All patients were followed up 1 month after surgery. Results: All 87 procedures were successfully completed. There was no significant difference in age and gland size between the two groups ( Conclusion: Pretreatment of the urethral mucosa before ThuLEP for BPH significantly reduces the incidence of SUI after surgery. This technique, which preconditions the apical urethral mucosa of the prostate, is safe and effective, has few complications, and is worthy of clinical application.
