“…Point estimates and measures of variability were presented in 88% of the studies, although in three studies it was unclear whether means or medians were used as the point estimate measure. 134,152,153 The dropout rate was unlikely to cause bias in 12 studies 124,138,150,[154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162] but this information was unclear in 74 (85%) of the studies. Only 16 studies (18%) stated that an intention to treat analysis was performed; however, this seems questionable in 11 of these studies 57,70,125,130,136,139,145,154,[163][164][165] as they failed to include the total number of participants in each arm in the subsequent follow-up assessments and an additional study stated that patients failing to complete the treatment or failing to return for follow-up were substituted.…”

“…Data on peak urine flow rate, mean urine flow rate, residual volume and prostate size were reported to a varying extent across four studies 150,161,194,195 and are tabulated in Appendix 8.9, Table 84. Only peak urine flow rate is presented in this section.…”

“…142 In the majority of the studies (62%) the groups were treated in the same way apart from the intervention received, but this was unclear in 13 studies (15%). 136,138,139,[143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151]167 In most studies (95%) follow-up was long enough to detect important effects on short-term outcomes (at least 3 months); however, only 69% of the studies followed up their participants for at least 1 year.In the majority of the studies it was unclear whether outcome assessors, care providers and patients were blinded. Point estimates and measures of variability were presented in 88% of the studies, although in three studies it was unclear whether means or medians were used as the point estimate measure.…”
