From manual to digital: prospective ICU evaluation of the FIZE kUO
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundICU nurses manage complex, time-sensitive care while also performing frequent manual tasks. Manual urine output (UO) measurement is one such task that remains labor-intensive, interruptive to workflow, and prone to delays - despite the need for timely and accurate recording. Automation may reduce this burden and improve consistency of monitoring. The FIZE kUO
methodsWe conducted a prospective, single-center pilot study to evaluate the usability, workflow impact, and safety of the FIZE kUO
resultsNursing staff reported positive perceptions regarding ease of setup (84-87%), time saving (74%), and improved recognition of changes in UO (87%). At treatment completion, 88.9% of nurses indicated the system prevented missing data, and 78% reported it facilitated earlier identification of situations requiring intervention. The device provided continuous monitoring for a total of 1,263 patient-hours, with no device-related adverse events or serious adverse events observed.
conclusionAutomating urine output monitoring was perceived by nurses as beneficial for workflow efficiency, data reliability, and clinical awareness. Nurses perceived the FIZE kUO
