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

Background and objective: Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is increasingly performed with miniaturized instruments, aiming to reduce postoperative urinary incontinence (UI). Evidence for mini-HoLEP (MiLEP) using a 22-Fr resectoscope remains largely retrospective or nonrandomized. We aimed to compare MiLEP with a standard 26 Fr HoLEP in a prospective randomized trial. Methods: Ninety men were randomized to MiLEP ( Key findings and limitations: Median follow-up was 828 days. UI at 1 mo was lower after MiLEP than HoLEP (22.2% vs 51.1%; odds ratio [OR] 0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.11-0.67; Conclusions and clinical implications: MiLEP seems to improve early continence recovery, supporting miniaturization as a strategy to enhance patient-centered outcomes after HoLEP.
