Age-related differences in bladder function and sexual outcomes following bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Therapeutic advances in urology. 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
Background: Benign prostatic obstruction negatively affects bladder emptying and, if untreated, may be associated with impaired bladder emptying and related complications. Objectives: To compare postoperative outcomes of bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (bipolar TURP) among different age groups and evaluate the effect of patient age. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: We analyzed 132 male patients who underwent bipolar TURP between May 2022 and January 2024. Patients were grouped by age: Group 1 (50-60 years), Group 2 (61-70 years), and Group 3 (⩾71 years). Pre- and postoperative parameters-including prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume, uroflowmetry (maximum and average flow rates, voided volume, post-void residual), symptom duration, medication use, and International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) scores-were assessed at 12 months postoperatively. Results: Group 1 demonstrated significantly greater improvements in peak flow rates, post-void residual volume, and IIEF-5 scores compared with the older cohorts ( Conclusion: Patient age is associated with urinary and sexual outcomes after bipolar TURP. The strongest age-related associations were observed for postoperative recovery of bladder emptying and preservation of erectile function, whereas improvement in peak flow rate was less strongly age-dependent and should be interpreted with caution. Trial registration: Not applicable.
