Lifestyle Advice to Patients with Bladder Cancer: A National Survey of Dutch Urologists.
Article in Bladder cancer (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundNot much is known about the extent to which urologists discuss lifestyle with patients with bladder cancer (BC), despite patients considering urologists as an important source of information and motivation.
objectiveTo determine how often lifestyle is asked about, advised on, and referred for by Dutch urologists to patients with BC, as well as to evaluate urologists' perceptions and barriers.
methodsAn anonymous online survey was sent to Dutch urologists. The survey included questions on demographics, awareness of guidelines, clinical practice (asking about, advising on, and referring for lifestyle), perceptions, and barriers with regard to smoking, body weight, physical activity, diet, alcohol consumption, and fluid intake.
resultsMost of the 49 respondents were male, affiliated with a non-academic hospital, and had over 10 years of experience. Smoking appeared to be the only lifestyle factor that patients are advised on, with 90% of urologists advising > 75% of their patients. Advice on other lifestyle factors was far less common, with 63-92% of urologists giving < 50% of their patients advice. Referral rates were low for all lifestyle factors. Lifestyle advice was generally perceived as (very) important. Almost all respondents reported one or more barriers in giving lifestyle advice. A lack of time and a perceived lack of patient interest and motivation were reported most.
conclusionsApart from advice on smoking cessation, lifestyle advice is not frequently provided by urologists to patients with BC. Although urologists perceive lifestyle as important, they report several barriers to providing lifestyle advice and referring patients.
