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

The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has caused a worldwide economic and clinical disaster. During times with the highest infection rates, clinical practice for all specialties including urology shifted to the emergency setting. Proper patient selection needs to be done to avoid infection; however, there is a fine line between postponing surgery and negatively affecting the outcome of the disease to be treated. The rapid integration of telemedicine has helped to keep up outpatient medical care, interdisciplinary communication and education. Nevertheless, surgical education of urological residents initially fell behind. The real impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urology will probably first be seen after the awaited vaccine and control of COVID-19.
