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

purposeNocturia may be one of the most persistent and bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men treated for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). This study aimed to evaluate the evolution of nocturia after endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) and identify predictors of no postoperative improvement.

methodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective study of 120 men who underwent EEP for LUTS/BPO and nocturia evaluation using voiding diaries. Patients with isolated nocturia were not considered for surgery. Outcomes were categorized into complete remission, partial improvement, stability, or worsening.

resultsAt a median follow-up of 15 months, 45% of patients achieved complete remission of nocturia, 19% experienced partial improvement, 30% remained stable, and 6% worsened. The median time for improvement was 6 months. Cox regression analysis identified predominant overactive bladder symptoms as the only significant predictor of no response (HR 1.68; 95% CI, 1.01-2.82; p = 0.04). No significant association was found with age, body mass index, prostate volume, or cardiometabolic comorbidities.

conclusionsThis multicenter study highlights that while nocturia often persists after EEP, nearly two-thirds of patients experience meaningful improvement, emphasizing both the potential benefit of surgery and the multifactorial nature of the symptom.
