Robotic Partial Cystectomy for Urachal Adenocarcinoma: Surgical Technique with Cys-toscopic Correlation.
Article in International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology. 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
objectiveUrachal adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy that typically arises from the bladder dome and is often diagnosed incidentally or during evaluation for hematuria (1, 2). Surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment (3, 4). This video demonstrates the robotic technique for partial cystectomy with en bloc urachal resection, combined with synchronized intraoperative cystoscopic imaging-an approach that has proven feasible and oncologically safe in selected cases (5-7). MATERIALS AND
methodsA 74-year-old hypertensive male presented with self-limited gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a lesion at the bladder dome, and transurethral resection confirmed urachal adenocarcinoma. Staging chest and abdominal CT scans showed no evidence of metastasis. Robotic partial cystectomy with urachal excision was performed using a da Vinci platform and an auxiliary 5-mm port, in line with contemporary minimally invasive techniques, including single-port surgery (8). The urachus was dissected to the umbilicus, the bladder dome excised, and the bladder closed in two layers with barbed sutures. The specimen was retrieved through the umbilical incision following concomitant umbilectomy. Intraoperative cystoscopy provided simultaneous tumor visualization via picture-in-picture overlay.
resultsOperative time was 45 minutes, with an estimated blood loss of 20 mL and no complications. The patient was discharged on postoperative day one with a Foley catheter, which was removed after seven days. Pathological analysis revealed moderately differentiated urachal adenocarcinoma with a mucinous component, detrusor and perineural invasion, and negative margins. At 6-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic, continent, and recurrence-free on surveillance CT.
conclusionRobotic partial cystectomy with urachal excision is a safe and effective treatment for localized urachal adenocarcinoma. Intraoperative cystoscopy enhances anatomical correlation and may contribute to oncologic safety.
