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: To evaluate the safety and clinical performance of an F21 multipurpose cystoscope equipped with a continuous irrigation system in routine urologic procedures. Methods: This single-center retrospective study consecutively enrolled 150 patients undergoing F21 multipurpose cystoscope-assisted procedures (50 double-J stent removals, 50 retrograde 5-Fr ureteral catheterizations, and 50 BPH patients receiving PVP).BPH patients had bladder outlet obstruction (Qmax <10 mL/s), and major exclusions included prostate cancer and prostate volume >80 mL.Outcomes included procedure-related complications; IPSS and Qmax were assessed preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months in the PVP cohort. Results: All double-J stent removals and retrograde catheterizations were completed successfully under local anesthesia with a consistently clear operative field, and no postoperative complications were observed. All 50 PVP procedures were completed successfully; mean operative time was 65.1 ± 16.9 min, blood loss was <60 mL, postoperative irrigation averaged 17 h, and catheter removal occurred on postoperative days 3-5. In the PVP group, Qmax increased from 6.314 preoperatively to 21.716 at 3 months and 21.006 at 6 months, while IPSS decreased from 23.540 to 4.700 and 4.420, respectively (all Conclusion: The F21 multipurpose cystoscope with continuous irrigation provides stable visualization and supports both routine cystoscopic interventions and PVP in a small-caliber platform, demonstrating favorable safety and functional outcomes.
