1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 is an uncommon congenital anomaly involving the triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction. It is often asymptomatic until puberty or adulthood, when patients may present with genitourinary complaints. We report the case of a 17-year-old male presenting with mild suprapubic discomfort and occasional right testicular pain. Clinical examination was unremarkable. Computed tomography (CT) urography revealed right renal agenesis with a large paravesical cystic lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis confirmed a tubular, hyperintense cystic structure adjacent to the prostate and seminal vesicle, containing incomplete septations. These findings were consistent with a seminal vesicle cyst, confirming the diagnosis of Zinner syndrome. Radiological imaging - particularly MRI and CT urography - plays a pivotal role in accurate diagnosis and preoperative assessment. Awareness of this condition and its imaging features is essential for timely identification and management.
