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

Introduction: The study aimed to retrospectively assess the safety and efficacy of Rezum, a promising minimally invasive treatment method for BPH, in patients treated at our clinic. Material and methods: From January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, a cohort of 71 patients presenting with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were enrolled in the study. These individuals opted for Rezum therapy as their treatment approach. Primary outcome measures included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), maximum flow rate (Q Results: The median age of the 71 patients was 62.1 ±9.3 years, with a median PV of 60.4 ±16.6 ml. Preoperatively, IPSS was 21.9 ±5.2, Q Conclusions: Rezum therapy is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive option for the treatment of men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
