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 objective of this study is to evaluate the outcomes and complications of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in patients with and without acute urinary retention (AUR). METHODOLOGY: This descriptive study was conducted in the Urology Department of the Institute of Kidney Diseases (IKD), Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC), Peshawar, from 11th August 2023 to 11th February 2024. A total of 127 male patients aged over 40 years with prostate sizes between 40 and 80 grams on ultrasonography were included. Patients with a history of prostate cancer or prior prostate surgery were excluded. All participants underwent TURP, and postoperative complications, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), hematuria, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), recatheterization, and hospital stay length, were documented. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23 (Released 2015; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States) to compare outcomes between the AUR and non-AUR groups.
resultsThe study included 127 patients with a mean age of 64.92 ± 3.8 years. The incidence of AUR was 63(49.6%). Postoperative complications such as UTIs (p=0.39), hematuria (p value= 0.06), LUTS (p=0.27), recatheterization (0.52), and sepsis (0.20) were more common in the AUR group, though these differences were not statistically significant. The need for blood transfusions was also higher in the AUR group (P=0.09). Hospital stay duration and symptom resolution were comparable between the AUR and non-AUR groups.
conclusionAUR in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients was associated with more severe symptoms and an increased frequency of certain postoperative complications, including UTIs, hematuria, and the need for blood transfusions. However, most differences between the AUR and non-AUR groups were not statistically significant.
