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

introductionHolmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is considered the best treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This procedure offers effective symptom relief across varying prostate sizes.

aimThis study aimed to evaluate preoperative and postoperative outcomes of HoLEP in patients with different prostate volumes in a multicenter comparative analysis conducted in Jordan. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cohort study was conducted in 3 private clinics in Amman, Jordan. It included 77 patients who were divided into 2 groups according to prostate volume: smaller than or equal to 40 ml (n = 37) and larger than 40 ml (n = 40). The data collected preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively included urinary symptoms, quality of life (QoL) scores, and functional parameters. Statistical analyses included paired

resultsBoth groups exhibited improvements in relation to initial values, as assessed after the procedure using the International Prostate Symptom Score (≤40 ml, 16 vs 7.6; >40 ml, 14.9 vs 4.6;

conclusionsHoLEP effectively improved various measured parameters, including urinary symptoms, QoL, and functional outcomes in patients with BPH across all prostate sizes. Larger prostates required procedures of increased complexity.
