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

Objectives: To compare the surgical and functional outcomes of the 120 W HPS and 180 W XPS GreenLight laser vaporization systems in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods: In January 2024, a comprehensive search across PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, registered under PROSPERO (CRD42024531176). Studies comparing 120 W and 180 W GreenLight lasers in BPH treatment were assessed for clinical outcomes. Results: Eight studies were included. The 180 W XPS system improved operation time (MD: 12.70, 95% CI [5.29-20.11], Conclusions: The 180 W XPS system demonstrates enhanced efficiency and reduced complication rates, offering a favorable option for BPH treatment, particularly for larger prostates. Future studies should focus on randomized trials to confirm these findings and assess long-term outcomes.
