Clinical factors associated with postoperative fever after bipolar TURP and GreenLight laser vaporization: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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: Postoperative fever after transurethral surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia may prompt evaluation for infection, but interpretation is complicated by catheterization, perioperative inflammation, variable microbiological sampling, and procedure-specific differences. Methods: We retrospectively analysed 401 patients who underwent bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (bTURP) or GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (GL-PVP) from October 2019 to February 2023. The primary outcome was postoperative fever recorded during the index admission. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify associated factors. Results: Postoperative fever was recorded in 48 of 401 patients (11.97%), with no significant difference between bTURP and GL-PVP (11.44% vs. 12.73%; Conclusion: Several preoperative and procedural factors were associated with postoperative fever after bTURP or GL-PVP. These associations are hypothesis-generating and should not be interpreted as causal. Because exact fever onset, complete SIRS components, culture specimen source, and standardized perioperative antibiotic protocols were unavailable, the microbiological findings should be interpreted as exploratory local surveillance data.
