A variant of Zinner syndrome with ectopic ureteral insertion into the seminal vesicle.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. 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 comprises a triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction, which can be accompanied by additional abnormalities of the genitourinary tract in some cases. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with urinary, reproductive, and/or local pain symptoms. Diagnosis is most commonly achieved via MRI. Here, we present the case of an 18-year-old male previously diagnosed with unilateral renal agenesis, who presented with testicular and penile pain, along with urinary urgency and frequency. MRI of the abdomen and pelvis revealed all three components of Zinner syndrome as well as an ectopic ureter emptying into the seminal vesicle. Our case adds to the existing limited literature on this rare syndrome and broadens the understanding of how this syndrome can present both clinically and radiologically.
