A rare case of a clear cell carcinoma in a female urethral diverticulum.
Article in IJU case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Urethral clear cell carcinoma is rare and often arises from a urethral diverticulum and rarely from the Müllerian duct. However, an explanation for this correlation remains unknown. Case presentation: We report the case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with hypermenorrhea. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a papillary tumor in a cystic lesion in the dorsal urethra. We performed a robot-assisted radical cystourethrectomy and created an ileal conduit. Since pathological findings revealed microvascular and lymphovascular invasions around the urethra, adjuvant radiation therapy was administered. The patient showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis after treatment. Conclusion: We report a case of clear cell carcinoma in a female urethral diverticulum originating from a Müllerian duct cyst. While postoperative radiation therapy has been shown to produce a good outcome in carcinoma cases similar to this one, we recommend that a radical cystourethrectomy be performed.
