Right-sided Zinner syndrome with a left side quadrupled ureter- a case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly of the genitourinary tract, consisting of ipsilateral renal agenesis, seminal vesicle cysts, and ejaculatory duct obstruction. Besides, quadruplication of the ureter is the rarest anomaly composed of proximal four ureters ending with a single distal ureter. The authors present an adult male patient with left flank pain and dysuria who was referred for abdomen CT scan. The CT scan revealed renal agenesis, seminal vesicle cysts, and obstructed ejaculatory duct, all in the right side (Zinner syndrome), and quadruplication of the ureter on the left side. The additional finding of hemivertebra was present resulting in kyphoscoliosis. Zinner syndrome and quadrupled ureter, are both rare anomalies, and the occurrence of both entities at the same patient is exceptionally rare, and have not been reported yet in the English literature. Furthermore, standard treatment protocols have to be pursued, as such patients hold a single kidney with the quadrupled ureter.
