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

aimsTo compare the clinical outcomes of transurethral bipolar plasma enucleation (TBPE) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated by prostatic stones.

methodsThis retrospective study included 150 patients divided into TBPE (n = 74) and TURP (n = 76) groups. Perioperative data, urodynamic parameters, symptom scores, complications, and sexual function were evaluated up to 6 months postoperatively.

resultsTBPE was associated with shorter catheterization and hospital stay, greater improvements in maximum urinary flow rate, post-void residual volume, and International Prostate Symptom Score, fewer complications, less intraoperative bleeding, and better postoperative sexual function (all P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed TBPE as an independent predictor of favorable outcomes (OR = 12.074, 95% CI: 6.513-22.386, P < 0.001).

conclusionTBPE demonstrates superior clinical effectiveness and safety over TURP for managing BPH with prostatic stones.
