A Rare Case of Recurrent Delayed Massive Hematuria Due to Arterial Bleeding Following Water Vapor Energy Therapy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Water vapor energy therapy (WAVE, Rezūm™) is a minimally invasive surgical therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that is associated with favorable efficacy and safety. Clinically significant bleeding requiring transfusion or endoscopic intervention is rare. A 77-year-old man with BPH developed recurrent delayed massive hematuria following WAVE. Although the initial postoperative course was uneventful, he presented on postoperative day 7 with bladder tamponade, managed with clot evacuation. On postoperative day 21, after catheter removal, he experienced acute urinary retention and hypotension, accompanied by gross hematuria. Endoscopic evacuation and coagulation of arterial bleeding from the median lobe achieved hemostasis, and the patient recovered without further recurrence. To the best of our knowledge, based on a review of the currently available English-language literature, no prior cases of delayed arterial hemorrhage requiring intervention after WAVE have been reported. Clinicians should remain vigilant for this possibility, and patients should be informed of this risk.
