1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present the case of a 51-year-old male with Zinner syndrome, which is a rare disease, resulting from an abnormal evolution of the mesonephric (Wolffian) duct. It consists in cystic dilations of one seminal vesicle and/or ejaculatory duct and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It leads to symptoms related to urination, ejaculation, even infertility, and to low-abdomen and perineal pain. The diagnosis is set by ultrasonography, CT scan and, mainly, MRI. Usually it is treated conservatively, but certain cases require surgery, nowadays minimally invasive.
