Vasectomy in real-world clinical practice: an ideal checklist to improve patient experience and outcomes.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 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
Vasectomy is a highly effective method of permanent contraception for men, offering a minimally invasive and cost-efficient alternative to female sterilization. Over 500,000 vasectomies are performed annually in the U.S., making it the most common non-diagnostic procedure conducted by urologists. Despite this, many residents may not gain adequate training in performing vasectomies in residency, and there are several specific patient populations that warrant additional counseling and care in their approach to a vasectomy. This paper provides a comprehensive review and checklist for the physician detailing necessary steps in the evaluation, counseling, treatment, and management of patients seeking a vasectomy. This includes a focus on special patient scenarios like the young, childless male, the expecting couple, or the individual with intellectual disabilities. Additionally, we review surgical techniques, postoperative care, and reimbursement to ensure a structured, effective approach to vasectomy, while addressing potential challenges that may arise with the goal of optimizing the patient experience and outcomes.
