Integrating a dedicated uroradiology module into a urology boot camp: enhancing trainee skills and confidence.

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
purposeThe evolving landscape of urological practice necessitates a strong foundation in uroradiology for effective diagnosis and management.
methodsRecognising this need, we integrated a dedicated uroradiology module into an established urology boot camp for the first-year urology residents in the UK, which focused on practical skills including transperineal prostate biopsy planning, fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided renal access, basic diagnostic kidney and testicular ultrasound, and acute/elective radiology case review.
resultsA total of 73 urology trainees completed the module. The course generally increased participants’ confidence in interpreting all five imaging modalities. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated statistically significant improvements in confidence for: Ultrasound (Wilcoxon statistic = 23.0, p = 0.0001) and Prostate MRI (Wilcoxon statistic = 18.0, p = 0.0009). The delegates satisfaction was highest with the scrotal ultrasound station 95.64% and lowest with the bladder volume measurement station 75.71% (Very Satisfied and Satisfied). Thematic analysis highlighted the value of practical experience, expert faculty, and interactive learning. Areas for improvement included more hands-on time, better time management, and expanded clinical case discussions. Trainees with lower initial confidence benefited most, supporting the module’s role in enhancing early urology training through simulation and practical skills.
conclusionPreliminary observations suggest a positive response and enhanced engagement with uroradiological concepts among participants during the urology simulation boot camp.
