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

Objective: The purpose of this study is investigate the clinical outcomes of men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder stones treated concomitantly with Aquablation and bladder stone removal in an international, multi-institutional cohort. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of men who underwent Aquablation between 2018 and 2024. Patients were divided into two cohorts: men with bladder stones and those without. Outcomes assessed included baseline demographics and variables (medication use, prostate volume, prior BPH surgery), operative characteristics (OR time, transfusion requirement, complications), and functional outcomes were measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), peak urinary flow rate ( Results: A total of 1885 men were analysed, including 60 men with bladder stones and 1825 without. Patients with bladder stones had higher rates of prior BPH surgery (15% vs. 5.5%, Conclusion: This study demonstrates that Aquablation is safe and effective in the management of BPH regardless of concomitant bladder stone treatment.
