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

objectiveTo compare the effects of thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) and monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on sexual function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients who underwent ThuLEP or TURP at the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital, between January 2022 and December 2023. Participants were recruited

resultsFollowing propensity score matching, the study included 98 patients in both the ThuLEP and the TURP groups. Preoperative comparisons between the two groups regarding age, prostate volume, IIEF-5 scores, incidence of retrograde ejaculation, IPSS, and QOL showed no statistically significant differences (

conclusionWhile both ThuLEP and TURP effectively alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms and improve voiding parameters, ThuLEP offers distinct advantages in safeguarding erectile potency and facilitating accelerated postoperative recovery.
