Skene's glands abscess an overlooked diagnosis in acute lower urinary symptoms.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Skenitis refers to the infection of the Skene's glands. Skene's glands are paraurethral glands localized on the upper wall of the vagina. The diagnosis of Skene's glands abscess or infection is usually made based on the history and physical examination, but half of women with para-urethral gland symptoms present with non-palpable lesions and necessitate further evaluation with imaging. Patients may present with chronic urethral pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, unexplained dyspareunia, and dysuria. At imaging Skene's glands are typically located on the anterior vaginal wall, at symphysis level and paramedian to urethra. Clinicians should consider Skenitis in the differential diagnosis of lower urinary tract symptoms. We report a case of a 48-year-old woman with acute lower urinary tract symptoms with a final diagnosis of Skene's glands abscess.
