Possible iodophor-induced systemic iodine toxicity during transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC urology, 2025. 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
rationaleIodophor, a disinfectant composed of iodine complexed with a surfactant, is extensively employed for preoperative skin preparation, burn wound management, and mucosal disinfection. Despite its extensive application in clinical practice, emerging clinical evidence has documented associations between iodophor irrigation and acute kidney injury in human. However, systemic iodine toxicity after the seminal vesicle was irrigated with iodophor during transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy (TUSV) has not been previously described. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report the case of a 70-year-old man who developed transient hypotension, vomiting, confusion, and profound lactic acidosis after the seminal vesicles were irrigated with iodophor. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with confusion and profound lactic acidosis secondary to the seminal vesicle was irrigated with iodophor.
interventionsThe patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), and continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration (CVVH) was initiated 3 h after ICU admission. OUTCOMES: After six days, the patient's condition improved, allowing the cessation of CVVH. He was discharged from the hospital on the 22nd day after being transferred to the ICU.
conclusionThis case highlights the typical characteristics of iodophor absorption during its regular application. Here, we report the first case of systemic iodine toxicity caused by iodophor irrigation during transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy.
