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

Background: Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital disorder of the urogenital system. In current reports, cases of Zinner syndrome complicated by malignant tumors are even rarer. Case description: We reported a 26-year-old male with Zinner syndrome complicated by testicular embryonal carcinoma and retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis. He received orchiectomy, chemotherapy and a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection with favorable response. Conclusions: As suggested by this rare case, Zinner syndrome may be bound up with genitourinary malignancy tumor. When diagnosing congenital disorders of the urinary system, it is essential for clinicians to take into consideration potential complications. More importantly, it is also paramount to account for the similarities and differences in diagnosis and treatment between comorbid and isolated conditions.
