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
Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the standard treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The incidence of postoperative urethral stricture (US) and urinary incontinence remains clinically important, and their predictors are not fully established. This study aimed to determine the incidence of these complications and identify associated risk factors. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan, Iran, between 2020 and 2023. A total of 110 male patients with BPH who underwent TURP and completed 6 months of postoperative follow-up were included. Baseline variables (age, prostate volume, and operative duration) were extracted from medical records. Complications were assessed at 6 months, specifically the occurrence of US, urinary incontinence, and the composite outcome defined as either stricture or incontinence. An independent samples Results: The mean age of patients was 68.2 ± 11.6 years, the mean prostate volume was 38.9 ± 10.3 mL, and the mean operative duration was 96.8 ± 17.4 min. The incidence of US was 9.1% (18.2 cases per 100 person-years), urinary incontinence 6.4% (12.7 cases per 100 person-years), and the composite outcome 15.5% (30.9 cases per 100 person-years). Patients with US had slightly lower age and smaller prostate volume but longer operative duration; none of these differences were statistically significant. Patients with urinary incontinence were significantly older (78.1 ± 9.4 vs. 67.5 ± 11.4 years, Conclusion: The incidence of US and urinary incontinence after TURP was modest, with age emerging as a significant predictor of incontinence. Elderly patients undergoing TURP should be counseled about the increased risk of postoperative incontinence, and perioperative strategies may be needed to mitigate this risk.
