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
introductionPopulation aging is associated with increased incidence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which may be complicated by bladder stones (BSs). The conditions are successfully treated with transurethral enucleation of the prostate (TUEP) plus bladder lithotomy. However, open surgery is associated with higher blood loss, larger incisions, prolonged operative time, and may impede patient recovery.
aimThis work explored the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of using thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) and thulium fiber laser (TFL) on a single‑energy platform to treat BPH combined with BS. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty‑one patients with BPH complicated by BSs who underwent ThuLEP+TFL at our institution between October 2020 and September 2022 were included in the observation group, while 31 patients undergoing TUEP plus bladder lithotomy during the same period constituted the control group. Data collection involved assessing differences in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), hemoglobin (Hb) levels, maximum urinary flow rate (Q
resultsThe patients in the observation group exhibited lower surgery duration, smaller postoperative decrease in Hb levels, shorter duration of postoperative indwelling catheterization, and proportion of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) II patients, with a higher proportion of ASA I patients than the individuals in the control group (
conclusionsIn summary, ThuLEP+TFL surgery was safe and feasible in treating BPH+BS, relieving the symptoms, and improving QoL.
