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

Background and objective: Refractory bladder neck contracture (BNC) poses significant challenges after transurethral resection of the prostate. This study compares laparoscopic bladder neck wedge resection with posterior urethral bed preservation (LCBNRE) versus transurethral resection of the bladder neck (TURBN) in managing refractory BNC. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 103 patients (2018-2023) divided into the LCBNRE ( Key findings and limitations: LCBNRE showed longer operative time (100 vs 43 min, Conclusions and clinical implications: LCBNRE is more effective for refractory BNC, with durable outcomes. Multicenter randomized trials are needed for validation. Patient summary: This study compared two surgical methods for bladder neck scarring. The laparoscopic approach resulted in better urine flow, fewer repeat surgeries, and lower recurrence rates than traditional methods.
