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
This study aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of urethral stricture after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and to assess the safety of the procedure. We retrospectively reviewed data from 202 patients who underwent HoLEP. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those with urethral stricture (group 2) and those without (group 1). Preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA), uroflowmetry with post-void residual (PVR), and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of urethral stricture. Perioperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo system. The mean age was 67.0 ± 7.6 years in group 1 and 68.4 ± 7.3 years in group 2 (P = .335). Urethral stricture developed in 6.4% of patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative prostatitis (odds ratio [OR]: 116.81; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32-10,330; P = .047) and the use of general anesthesia (OR: 269.07; 95% CI: 7.30-9912.74; P = .047) were independent predictors of stricture formation. Preoperative prostatitis and general anesthesia significantly increase the risk of urethral stricture after HoLEP.
