Urachal sinus: An atypical case and review of the literature.
Article in Urology case reports, 2023. 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
Urachal sinus is a rare type of urachal abnormality. It happens because of blind focal dilation at the umbilical end and has increased risk of infection. We report the case of a 23-year-old female with abdominal pain and umbilical discharge. Ultrasound detected a possible infected urachal sinus which was initially treated with antibiotic therapy. Urachal sinus excision and laparoscopic bladder raffia was later performed with no recurrence at present. Diagnosis of this pathology is essential given that surgery is curative and avoids complications such as neoplastic transformation.
