[First German expert consensus on telemedicine in urology].
Article 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
backgroundTelemedicine is widely used in urology, but it has so far been insufficiently considered in clinical guidelines.
methodsA two-stage expert consensus was conducted in which urology experts evaluated statements in two rounds. Between rounds, discussions took place either virtually or in person. Statements with 75% agreement in the final round were considered to be accepted.
resultsFifteen experts participated in the first round of voting, achieving consensus on 20 out of 21 statements. After renewed discussion, 11 experts accepted 22 out of 23 statements.
conclusionTelemedicine opens up new models of care in urology. Successful implementation requires adjustments in reimbursement and the training of all healthcare professionals.
