Evaluating the Optimal Approach: Effectiveness of Medical vs. Surgical Treatment for Primary Bladder Neck Obstruction in Young Males.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) is a functional obstruction at the bladder neck causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in young males. Treatment options include medical therapy with alpha-blockers and surgical intervention, such as bladder neck incision (BNI). This study compares the clinical and urodynamic outcomes of these modalities. Methodology A retrospective analysis was conducted on 67 males (<40 years) with PBNO diagnosed via video urodynamics. Patients were divided into medical (
