Urachal adenocarcinoma in an adolescent boy: a case report.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundUrachal carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor originating from the urachus. Urachal adenocarcinoma has never been reported in patients under 20 years of age. In this case, we describe a 15-year-old patient with urachal adenocarcinoma and propose possible risk factors. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient presented with hematuria for two months and dysuria for one month, and had a history of smoking and alcohol consumption for three years. Ultrasonography showed an irregular mass on the anterior wall of the bladder. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a pedicled soft tissue mass measuring 2.6×2.4 cm within the bladder, showing significant enhancement. Partial cystectomy was conducted, and a histopathological diagnosis of urachal adenocarcinoma (T2N0M0) was made. During eight months of follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with no evidence of recurrence.
conclusionsUrachal remnants may lead to urinary symptoms and the development of urachal carcinoma. A history of smoking and alcohol consumption could be possible risk factors for urachal adenocarcinoma in this case. It is possible that urachal remnants can undergo malignant transformation, even at ages as young as 15 years. Regular follow-up should be recommended for patients whose urachal remnants persist beyond childhood.
