Zinner syndrome with contralateral hydronephrosis: A rare congenital condition.
Article in Urology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Zinner Syndrome (ZS) is a rare congenital genitourinary abnormality defined by seminal vesicle cysts, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and unilateral renal dysplasia or agenesis. Patients can be asymptomatic, while others experience pain, urinary or ejaculatory symptoms and infertility. A patient that presented with painless gross hematuria was found to have a large pelvic cystic structure, an absent left kidney, multiple fluid collections in the region of the left seminal vesicle and right hydronephrosis. Hydronephrosis is atypical in ZS. This patient eventually developed right flank and pelvic pain treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of the pelvic cystic structure and extravesical ureteral reimplantation.
