Successful treatment of a complex Skene's gland cyst: a case report.
Article in Therapeutic advances in 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
This study aimed to offer important diagnostic insights and a sensible treatment plan for such challenging situations by presenting an incredibly unusual example of Skene's gland cyst. We described a 39-year-old woman who suffered dysuria for 20 years with an acute exacerbation. Her sexual life was normal, and she did not exhibit any other significant clinical symptoms. However, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and imaging tests gave contradictory results, with the former creating a high suspicion of malignancy, while the latter indicated a benign tumor. After a multidisciplinary discussion, a cautious treatment approach was adopted. Finally, the patient underwent a diagnostic puncture, and bacteriology detection, along with histological analysis, ultimately confirmed the diagnosis of a Skene's gland cyst. Following needle puncture biopsy and subsequent antibiotic therapy, follow-up assessments revealed that the mass disappeared. Importantly, the patient's clinical symptoms completely resolved, and no complications were observed. This case highlighted that puncture biopsy coupled with drainage was a safe and efficacious method, especially when faced with the challenge of diagnosing and treating paraurethral cystic masses.
