Improving Outcomes in Urological Surgery for the Elderly: Strategies for Optimization and Risk Reduction.
Review in Current urology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose was to present latest findings on factors that can help improve risk profiling for surgery in the elderly and thus improve outcomes. RECENT
findingsApproximately two thirds of patients undergoing urological surgery are elderly. A number of assessment tools are now available for clinical application to facilitate risk planning when considering surgery. There is an overall lack of trials performed in the elderly on account of a number of factors including cognitive impairment, mobility and perceived lack of benefit. Clinicians are generally poor at estimating 10-year survival in patients and usually underestimate it. Treatment success in this demographic varies from the index patient and an individualised approach should be taken. It is of increasing relevance for clinicians to familiarize themselves with tools that can facilitate surgical care in the elderly. Prospective studies are needed, which also monitor outcomes in patients who did not undergo surgery.
