Epidemiology and management of urological emergencies in a tertiary care setting in Scandinavia.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo develop a baseline database detailing the distribution of urological emergencies and to define their epidemiological profile in a tertiary care setting, with the hope of providing important data for health planning. DESIGN, SETTINGS AND
participantsA retrospective study was conducted on all patients presenting with urological emergencies at the Emergency Department (ED) of the NU Hospital Group in Trollhättan, Sweden throughout 2019. Medical records of identified patients were reviewed retrospectively to summarize pertinent information. MAIN
resultsIn 2019, 2 433 patients visited the ED with urological complaints, with 71% being male. Most patients (83%) were self-referred and 15% referred by general practitioners (GPs). Loin pain, infectious symptoms, and lower urinary tract symptoms were the most common complaints. Urinary and genital infections (UGIs) were the most frequent diagnoses (37%), followed by urolithiasis (24%). 28% of patients required admission, particularly for UGIs (42%). Self-referred patients had a higher admission rate compared to those referred by GPs. Radiological investigations were performed in 48% of cases, though 65% showed no urological pathology.
conclusionsMost patients self-referred to the ED, and many required hospitalization, particularly for UGIs. Enhancing the management of urological emergencies in primary care and refining guidelines for acute imaging could contribute to more efficient use of healthcare resources.
