Beyond size: A comprehensive overview of small-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Review in Current urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most frequently diagnosed benign disorders that cause dysuria in middle-aged and elderly men. Some patients with BPH have relatively small prostates (referred to as small-volume BPH) but still experience the lower urinary tract infection. Medication treatment is typically not successful in these patients. In addition, their pathophysiologic pathways deviate from those previously observed. Furthermore, as there is no accepted protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of small-volume BPH, patients can experience great difficulties in managing surgical complications such as bladder neck contracture. Thus, we reviewed the features of small-volume prostates, preoperative assessment, surgical technique, and management of complications.
