New-Onset Urethral Stricture After HoLEP: Incidence, Predictors and Treatment Outcomes From an 8-Year Single-Centre Analysis.
Article in BJUI compass, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence, timing, anatomical characteristics, predictors and management outcomes of urethral stricture formation following HoLEP at an academic institution in the United States. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of 857 patients who underwent HoLEP at a single academic institution between July 2017 and August 2025. Patients with prior or incidental urethral stricture diagnosis at the time of HoLEP were excluded. Enucleation was performed using a 26-Fr resectoscope, and morcellation was completed through a 26-Fr morcelloscope sheath. If initial cystoscopy suggested small-sized meatus or non-distensible penile urethra, Otis urethrotomy or urethral calibration was performed. Demographic, clinical and perioperative data were collected and analysed using multivariable logistic regression to identify predictors of postoperative urethral stricture formation. Results: Among 857 patients, 16 had preoperative or intraoperative strictures and were excluded. Seventeen patients (2.0%) developed urethral stricture at a mean of 6.2 months postoperatively. Patients with stricture had lower BMI (24.1 vs. 27.4 kg/m Conclusion: The overall risk of urethral stricture following HoLEP was low (2%). Higher BMI was associated with a lower risk of urethral stricture formation. Following initial intervention, 23.5% experienced relapse needing additional management.
