Turkish urologists' knowledge and attitudes on lifestyle advice for bladder cancer: a national survey.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
purposeTo evaluate the knowledge level of Turkish urologists regarding the lifestyle changes related to bladder cancer and to what extent they question patients' lifestyles and guide them in making recommended changes.
methodsA 14-question online survey, based on a questionnaire prepared by Beeren et al. (Bladder Cancer 10(3):215-220, 2024), was sent to Turkish urologists. The survey included demographics, familiarity with guidelines, lifestyle assessment and advice, and perceived barriers during care for BC patients.
resultsThe mean age of the 252 participants was (44.8 ± 9.3), approximately 40% were affiliated with an academic hospital, and approximately 50% had more than 10 years of experience. Almost all were interested in uro-oncology, with 30% devoting more than half of their daily practice to uro-oncology. Smoking was reported as the most frequently questioned issue, for which advice was given and referrals to a lifestyle specialist provided when necessary. Asking about and giving advice regarding fluid intake came second, with approximately 50% mentioning this issue. Referral rates were low for lifestyle factors other than smoking. The most frequently reported barriers were a lack of information about where patients should be referred, insufficient motivation of patients, and concern about blaming patients. There is a positive correlation between knowledge on ideal body weight and physical activity with asking about lifestyle changes (p = 0.004, p = 0.000), and giving lifestyle advice (p = 0.014, p = 0.003) and between knowledge on ideal body weight with referring for lifestyle advice and perception in lifestyle factors (p = 0.035, p = 0.016).
conclusionsLifestyle changes in bladder cancer patients are not sufficiently integrated into routine clinical practice by urologists. Although lifestyle changes are perceived as important by most urologists, they encounter some barriers in making these recommendations to their patients.
