1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo explore the applicability of the new media platform “Urological Surgery Learning Notes” in the continuing education of urology specialists.

methodsIn December 2024, 390 subjects were recruited. Educational content, questions, and interactive materials related to the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of urological diseases were disseminated via the WeChat public platform “Urological Surgery Learning Notes.” Post-instruction surveys were conducted to assess knowledge acquisition, attitudes, and educational outcomes.

resultsAmong the 390 subjects, 313 (80.26%) used the platform’s educational resource library more than once per week. 270 participants (69.23%) showed greater interest in learning content related to surgical techniques and precautions, while 340 (87.18%) preferred the video tutorial format offered by the platform. Regarding comprehension of different urological teaching content, 84.6% participants found the resource library’s content understandable. 88.19% participants believed it was effective or highly effective in improving urological surgical skills or clinical decision-making abilities. However, only 11.3% participants reported applying content from this resource library to more than 20 cases in their clinical practice.

conclusionThe use of the WeChat public platform-based educational resource library for continuing education of urology specialists demonstrated high acceptance, recognition, and applicability, proving to be feasible. However, its application process requires further enhancement based on the actual case mix and clinical realities of different hospitals.
