Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: Modified urethral mucosa pre-dissected technique versus traditional three-lobe technique-A retrospective study.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the effect of modified holmium laser enucleation of the prostrate (HoLEP) on the function of urine control.
methodsAn analysis was conducted on a cohort of 305 elderly patients in a retrospective study spanning from February 2019 to February 2023. The cohort consisted of 150 patients who underwent modified HoLEP and 155 patients who underwent traditional HoLEP. Factors such as age, length of membranous urethra, prostate volume, BMI, IPSS, Qmax, enucleated weight, enucleation time, post-operative bladder irrigation time, catheterization and hospitalization were compared between both the groups. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of urinary incontinence, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of urethral membrane length in the diagnosis of urinary incontinence. Postoperative Qmax,IPSS, V
resultsGroups were compared in terms of age, volume, BMI, IPSS, Qmax and membranous urethral length (MUL). The time of enucleation, bladder irrigation, post-operative catheterization and hospitalization was lower in the modified HoLEP group (p < 0.05). The incidence of urinary incontinence (UI) in the modified group had a statistically significant decrease at 3 months (3.3% vs 9.7%, p = 0.025) and 6 months (0.6% vs 5.2%, p = 0.048). The median MUL had a significant difference in the 1st month (15.07 vs 12.5 mm, p < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, older age (OR per SD = 1.102, 95%CI: 1.077-1.136), shortened MUL (OR per SD = 0.776, 95%CI: 0.629-0.957) and increased enucleated prostate weight (OR per SD = 1.29,95%CI: 1.005-1.084) were significantly associated with UI. The ROC curve revealed the threshold value of MUL was 13.5 mm, the sensitivity was 76.7%, and the specificity was 98.1%.
conclusionThe modified HoLEP technique is safe and effective on the function of urine control, and is superior to less residual prostate volume and higher maximum urine flow rate after surgery.
