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.
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
backgroundThe surgical management of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has considerably evolved through recent years. Nonetheless, benefits and harms of several laser procedures are still to be determined. The study aimed to report perioperative and early functional results of patients treated with anatomical photo vaporization of the prostate (aPVP).
methodsData from consecutive patients treated with aPVP by using a 180-W XPS GreenLight laser were prospectively collected in a single tertiary center between 2020 and 2023. The surgical procedure was divided into a modular step-by-step fashion. Patients were asked to complete self-administered questionnaires at baseline and during follow-up visits.
resultsOverall, 176 consecutive patients were enrolled. Median age was 65 [interquartile range (IQR) 63-72] years. The baseline median prostate volume was 61.2 (IQR 52.5-71.0) mL, and the median max flow rate (Q
conclusionsaPVP with 180-W XPS GreenLight laser is a safe and effective technique showing worthy early functional results. The limitation of the energy delivered in some key phases of the procedure may be associated with a significant reduction in postoperative irritative symptoms. The shape and dimensions of the prostate also play a critical role in determining the total energy required for complete adenoma removal.
