Endoscopic holmium laser harvesting of bladder mucosal graft for urethroplasty: retrospective analysis of single center preliminary results.
Article in World journal of urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeUrethral stricture disease (USD) incidence is estimated to be as high as 0.6-1.2%. In 2022, it was published that the bladder mucosal graft to be used in urethroplasty can be obtained endoscopically with a holmium laser. We aimed to present our single center graft urethroplasty results obtained with the endoscopic holmium laser harvesting of bladder mucosal graft technique.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the results of patients who underwent bladder mucosal graft (BlMG) urethroplasty by single surgeon at our center hospital between December 2022 and May 2023.
resultsA total of 14 patients underwent BlMG urethroplasty surgery. Of them 8 were male and 6 were female patients. The mean patient age was 53 (range 26-76) years. The mean length of stricture was 4,35 (range 1-11) cm. The maximum postoperative flow rate was < 10 ml/sec in three of the 14 patients.
conclusionTo our knowledge this is the first study investigating the preliminary results of substitution urethroplasties that is performed with bladder mucosal grafts harvested with laser energy via transurethral (endoscopic) route. Though more work is needed to better understand its current role in complex urethral reconstruction, our patient cohort will be a niche for further studies.
