Inpatient urology consultations: intervention rates, determinant factors, and findings related to the refugee population.
Article in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThe aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of intervention requirements in inpatient urology consultations and the clinical and demographic factors influencing these decisions. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed urology consultations over a one-year period at a large tertiary regional hospital. The timing and location of consultations, indications, procedures performed, and the need for intervention were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify predictors of intervention.
resultsA total of 1,977 consultations were identified. The most common reasons for consultation were hematuria (18.9%), male lower urinary tract symptoms (18.3%), and obstructive uropathy (14.3%). The majority of consultations originated from the emergency department (59.5%). Urologic interventions were performed in 52.5% of the patients, with the most frequent procedures being urethral catheterization (18.2%), bladder irrigation (7.9%), and suprapubic catheterization (3%). According to the univariate analysis, refugee patients had a significantly higher intervention rate (p = 0.046). In the multivariate analysis, factors independently associated with the need for intervention included consultations initiated from the emergency department, the level of seniority of the evaluating physician, and symptom-based consultation requests (p < 0.001).
conclusionInpatient urology consultations constitute a significant clinical workload, and a considerable proportion of those requiring intervention involve simple procedures that can be performed by nonurologist healthcare personnel. The high rate of noninterventional consultations reduces service efficiency. Improving triage systems and providing targeted training to healthcare staff may help alleviate this burden.
