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

backgroundUrological residency training is a decisive step on the urological career path. The aim of this review is to develop strategies and approaches to actively shape, improve and further develop urological residency training.

methodsWith the help of a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis, the status quo of urological residency training in Germany is analyzed in a structured manner.

resultsStrengths of urological residency training incorporate the attractiveness of the specialty itself, and the residency training curriculum in urology ("Weiterbildungscurriculum Urologie", WECU), including the networking of inpatient and outpatient training and accompanying internal and external further training. The German Society of Residents in Urology (GeSRU) also provides a networking platform for residents. Weaknesses include country-specific differences and a lack of checkpoints during residency training. Opportunities for urological continuing education arise from freelance work, digitalization, and technical and medical progress. In contrast, the aftermath of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic, with still limited staff and surgical capacities, an increased psychosocial workload, and the rising number of outpatient treatments in urology pose threats for urological residency programs.

conclusionsWith the help of a SWOT analysis, factors for the further development of urological residency training can be identified. In order to provide high-quality residency training in the future, strengths and opportunities should be consolidated and weaknesses and threats should be addressed at an early stage.
