Social Media in Urologic Healthcare: Transforming Treatment, Management, and Online Medical Communication.
Article in International neurourology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Digital technologies and social media have fundamentally reshaped healthcare communication and the accessibility of medical information. This review examines the role of social media in urologic care, focusing particularly on its impact on treatment, management, and professional engagement. Patients commonly utilize social media to obtain health information, share experiences, and discuss treatment options, whereas healthcare professionals leverage these platforms for networking, education, and research dissemination. Despite these benefits, concerns persist about content credibility, inconsistent expert oversight, and disparities in social media usage across different demographic groups. While social media enhances patient engagement and expands access to medical information, its long-term effects on clinical outcomes and healthcare decision-making remain unclear. As digital health continues to evolve, ensuring content reliability through expert oversight and technological advancements will be crucial in optimizing the role of social media in urologic care.
