Zinner syndrome in adult male: a rare case report.

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
Background: Zinner syndrome (ZS) is an extremely rare congenital genitourinary disease. Its typical triad consists of seminal vesicle cysts, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and ipsilateral renal agenesis or hypoplasia. At present, the exact pathogenesis of ZS remains a mystery. It is hypothesized that ZS might be associated with aberrations that occur during the intricate process of embryonic development. Case Description: A 40-year-old male presented to the hospital with a chief complaint of experiencing dysuria for 5 consecutive days, accompanied by frequent urination and urgency. Through comprehensive imaging and laboratory examinations, he was diagnosed with ZS. Subsequently, laparoscopic left seminal vesicle cystectomy was successfully carried out. Postoperative pathology revealed the existence of inflammatory infiltration in the wall of the seminal vesicle cyst. The patient recovered smoothly and was discharged without complications. No signs of recurrence were detected during the 6-month follow-up. Conclusions: Ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations are crucial for accurately diagnosing ZS. These imaging techniques offer detailed anatomical information, helping identify features like seminal vesicle cysts and renal anomalies. Acute seminal vesicle cyst infection accompanied by ipsilateral renal agenesis and ureteral developmental malformations is recognized as a clinical manifestation of ZS. Laparoscopic seminal vesicle cystectomy is safe and effective.
