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

Bipolar enucleation of the prostate (BipolEP) has emerged as an effective, safe, and cost-efficient surgical option for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), particularly in large glands. The objective of this study was to analyze recent evidence on BipolEP and comparing it with other endoscopic enucleation techniques using holmium and thulium lasers. It was carried out a review through a search of articles published in PubMed between 2020 and 2025, and 35 relevant studies were included. Evidence analyzed demonstrate that BipolEP achieves complete adenoma removal, improves Qmax and IPSS, and reduces postvoid residual volume, with complication rates comparable to those of laser-based technologies. Its superior hemostatic profile lowers equipment costs that enable complete enucleation and adenoma resection with the mushroom technique without the need for a morcelator, while at the same time it eases a shorter learning curve, because urologists are accustomed to the bipolar resectocope and they support its implementation in resource-limited settings. However, although available data confirm its efficacy and reproducibility, it remains the need for multicenter studies with long-term follow-up to consolidate its durability and standardization.
