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

backgroundResidency is the fundation for high-quality medical care and also for career development of young urologists. In 2015 the GeSRU (German Society of Residents in Urology) carried out the first nationwide survey among young physicians in urology and described the status quo of their residency. This revised follow-up examination draws an updated picture of the training and working conditions of residents in urology and assesses the development.

methodsIn 2020 the GeSRU conducted an online-based survey of all residents in urology; therefore, the 2015 questionnaire was expanded. The model of the professional gratification crisis was used again.

resultsA total of 332 questionnaires were analyzed. Major findings have not changed since 2015. The daily working routine is characterized by high pace and workload and economic considerations. Family- and research-friendly working conditions are largely lacking. 35% of the respondents draw professional consequences. The psychosocial strain remains very high and conveys a risk for physicians' health and patients' quality of care.

conclusionThese results demonstrate that there are still systemically immanent burdens for residents in urology, which require adjustments to the working and training conditions. A structured, transparent curriculum for urological residency, remuneration and time for training and models which enable work-life balance should be established.
