Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in a Patient With Ectopic Ureter.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
An ectopic ureter is a rare male anomaly. We report a case of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer in a patient with an ectopic ureter and a duplicated collecting system. A 71-year-old man was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Preoperative evaluation identified a left ectopic ureter opening into the bladder neck. During robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, an attempt to preserve the ectopic orifice resulted in an extensive positive surgical margin. The patient subsequently developed biochemical recurrence and was treated with androgen deprivation therapy and salvage radiotherapy. His prostate-specific antigen level is now undetectable. Preoperative diagnosis of an ectopic ureter is crucial for surgical planning to avoid positive margins and complications. This anomaly should be considered if an unexpected tubular structure is encountered intraoperatively or if unexpected urinary leakage occurs postoperatively.
