Operating Theatre Readiness for Urological Emergencies: Challenges, Pitfalls, and a Practical Checklist for Urology On-Call Teams.
Article in Cureus, 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
Urological emergencies demand prompt, skilled intervention to avoid serious complications. However, when these emergencies arise unexpectedly during non-urological procedures, such as general surgical, obstetric, gynaecological, or emergency operations, delays caused by inadequate equipment availability, lack of staff familiarity, poor communication, and other human factors can compromise patient outcomes. Drawing from a real case of intra-operative bladder and ureteric injury during an open inguinal hernia repair, this technical report highlights recurrent system barriers to timely emergency urological care and outlines practical solutions. A structured checklist is proposed to support rapid preparedness in non-specialist theatres, improve team coordination, and reduce avoidable delays. While descriptive rather than data-driven, the report synthesises real-world challenges and offers an adaptable, practice-oriented framework that may strengthen preparedness for high-risk urological emergencies.
