Urethral duplication associated with epispadias: Case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and importanceUrethral duplication is a rare congenital urinary tract anomaly. Its association with male epispadias is extremely rare. Due to various anatomical types, patients with urethral duplication can have a wide range of clinical presentations. Managing epispadias associated with urethral duplication involves different techniques and one should identify the functional urethra before proceeding with the surgery. It is associated with better functional outcomes than bladder epispadias exstrophy. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 4-year-old male child presented with a complaint of urinary incontinence. After evaluation, he was diagnosed with Urethral duplication associated with penopubic epispadias. Epispadias repair with urethral advancement was done and the child had a smooth postoperative course. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Both urethral duplication and epispadias are rare congenital urinary tract anomalies. Urethral duplication associated with epispadias is extremely rare. Patient clinical presentation varies from incontinence to incidental findings. The diagnosis of urethral duplication in epispadias patients is usually missed preoperatively and even intraoperatively. The type of procedure going to be done depends on the type of urethral duplication. Management of these patients is associated with good functional outcomes.
conclusionEven though urethral duplication associated with epispadias is a rare congenital malformation, it should be carefully searched in male epispadias.
