Intravesical gas explosion after sequential greenlight laser prostate vaporization and plasma electrocoagulation: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in urology, 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: Intravesical gas explosion resulting in full-thickness intraperitoneal bladder rupture is an extremely rare but potentially life-threatening complication following transurethral prostate surgery, with very few cases reported in the context of Greenlight laser vaporization of the prostate (LVP) and plasma electrocoagulation. Case presentation: A 50-year-old man with chronic urinary retention and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) underwent LVP. During hemostasis, a sudden loud popping sound was noted, followed by an intravesical explosion and subsequent bladder rupture. Emergent laparoscopic exploration confirmed a full-thickness intraperitoneal bladder rupture, which was surgically repaired. The patient required an 11-day intensive care unit stay and prolonged urethral catheterization due to reduced bladder capacity. At 1-year follow-up, the catheter had been successfully removed, and the patient remained under conservative follow-up. Conclusion: Intravesical gas explosion is a rare but potentially severe complication of transurethral prostate surgery. This case demonstrates that the complication may occur during hemostasis following LVP and highlights the importance of intraoperative vigilance and preventive measures.
