[Palliative medicine and integrative medicine as complementary approaches in uro-oncological care].
Review in Urologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2026. 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
backgroundUro-oncological diseases have negative long-term consequences for physical, functional, psychological, and socioeconomic well-being. A common focus of palliative and integrative medicine is improving quality of life by alleviating symptoms.
objectivesWhat treatment options are available for frequently occurring symptoms in uro-oncology patients?
methodsBased on current literature and international guideline recommendations, an overview of palliative and integrative medical therapies and their significance in the management of advanced uro-oncological tumors is given.
resultsPalliative care treatment options combined with complementary medicine can effectively contribute to symptom relief. The foundation of tumor pain therapy is medication, which can be effectively supplemented with acupuncture, for example. Medication and relaxation exercises can also have synergistic effects on sleep disorders. A multiprofessional and interdisciplinary approach is also beneficial for the treatment of anxiety and depression, combining medication, psycho-oncological support, physiotherapy, social services, nutritional therapy, mindfulness exercises, meditative movement exercises, and so on. It is important that palliative and integrative medical support be offered early in the course of the illness. This support includes not only optimizing symptom relief but also communication with patients and their families and caregivers.
conclusionPalliative medicine and integrative medicine offer the chance to improve the quality of life and symptom management in advanced uro-oncological cancer.
