Use of a Schelin catheter for transurethral intraprostatic anesthesia (TUIA) prior to iTIND procedure.
Article in Prostate cancer and prostatic diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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/
objectivesEndorsing the principles of minimal invasiveness in benign-prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery, we conducted the first evaluation of transurethral intraprostatic anesthesia (TUIA) using Schelin catheter® (SC) prior to iTIND positioning. SUBJECTS/
methodsOf 23 patients enrolled, 11 (48%) received TUIA via SC whereas the remaining underwent standard anesthesia protocol. Pain was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS).
resultsNo differences between cohorts were observed for pain during the device implantation and removal. Conversely, significantly lower median VAS scores were reported at 24- (1.0 vs. 3.0) and 48- (1.0 vs. 2.5) hour follow-up favoring TUIA.
conclusionsSC TUIA offers effective pain control during iTIND procedures, supporting its use in outpatient settings.
