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

Urachal anomalies are rare in adults and may mimic common abdominal conditions, leading to delayed or missed diagnosis. We report a 47-year-old man presenting with isolated purulent umbilical discharge initially mistaken for a superficial abscess. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a rim-enhancing lesion with a non-communicating urachal tract. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic excision, and histopathology confirmed an infected urachal remnant without malignancy. Recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence at one month. This case emphasizes the diagnostic value of early imaging and supports laparoscopic urachectomy as a safe, definitive management for infected adult urachal remnants.
