Managing Bladder-Neck Stenosis With "Cystoscopy and Proceed" Method: Our Experience.

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
introductionBladder-neck stenosis (BNS) is characterized by obstruction of urine flow due to improper relaxation of the bladder neck. Accurate diagnosis through cystoscopy and treatment via bladder-neck incision (BNI) can restore urinary flow and reduce the risk of related complications. Our experience suggests that cystoscopy for diagnosis is underused due to various patient and physician-related factors.
objectiveThe primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the "cystoscopy and proceed" method in managing BNS, measured by improvement in uroflowmetry (Qmax). Secondary objectives included assessing recurrence rates, urinary symptom burden using International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), patient-reported quality of life Short Form-36 (SF-36), and procedural complications at 10-18 months of follow-up.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study at a private urology center involving 10 patients with cystoscopically confirmed BNS. Data collection included preoperative and postoperative records and follow-up between 10 and 18 months after surgery to assess long-term outcomes in urinary symptoms and satisfaction using IPSS and SF-36, respectively. Statistical analysis was done using Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation.
resultsThe mean age of participants was 64 years. All 10 patients experienced improvements in uroflowmetry, with an average Qmax increase of 14.33 (738.1%), reflecting a 7.4-fold improvement after BNI. A paired t-test revealed a significant difference between preoperative and postoperative Qmax p < 0.001. At 10-18 months follow-up, six patients had satisfaction scores above 80%, and eight scored 70% or higher.
conclusionCystoscopy and BNI effectively manage BNS, leading to significant improvements in patient outcomes and satisfaction.
