Robot‑assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy for urachal carcinoma: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 carcinoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy with an unknown aetiology and poor prognosis. The present case report described a 31-year-old male patient who initially presented with a 5-day history of haematuria. FDG-PET/CT demonstrated nodules in the anterior wall of the bladder with increased glucose metabolism, which were suggestive of malignancy. A cystoscopic biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of urachal carcinoma. The patient underwent en bloc robot-assisted laparoscopic modified partial cystectomy, along the umbilicus and urachus resection, and pelvic lymph node dissection. The patient recovered within 2 weeks postoperatively, with complete tumour resection confirmed by pathological analysis, which showed negative margins and no recurrence was detected during a 5-month follow-up. The current case highlighted the potential of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery as an effective treatment option for urachal carcinoma, offering insights for further optimization and broader clinical application, and reviewed the currently available literature.
