[Sustainability in urology: from vision to implementation : Results from a member survey conducted by the German Society of 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
Healthcare is closely linked to climate change: on the one hand, climate change has negative effects on (urological) health; on the other hand, resource intensive patient care has negative effects on global warming. Currently, there is a lack of data on current status, potential benefits, barriers, and expectations regarding environmental sustainability among urologists practicing in Germany. Thus, a survey was conducted among members of the German Society of Urology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Urologie e. V., DGU). The 339 participants consider sustainability to be relevant. While sustainable urology is associated with more efficient use of resources, cost reductions, and a stronger contribution to societal responsibility, the main barriers identified are low prioritization in daily practice, lack of clarity regarding ecological effects of individual measures, and insufficient personnel and financial resources. Members of the DGU who took part in the survey consider sustainability to be an important area of action that has seen little practical implementation to date. They call for support from professional associations, industry, politics, and research in terms of education, strategies, prioritization, and financing for sustainable action in urology.
