Zinner syndrome: Late-Diagnosis in a 55-year-old male and favorable outcome after surgical excision - A case report and review of the literature.

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
Zinner Syndrome (ZS) is a rare congenital anomaly defined by the triad of unilateral renal agenesis, ipsilateral seminal vesicle cyst, and ejaculatory duct obstruction. We report a 55-year-old male presenting with chronic perineal pain and LUTS. Imaging confirmed ZS (right renal agenesis, 3.3 × 3.8 cm seminal vesicle cyst). The patient underwent surgical excision, converting from laparoscopic to open due to dense adhesions. He achieved complete symptom resolution and remained stable at two-year follow-up. ZS should be considered in older males with non-specific LUTS. Surgery is effective, and advanced imaging is crucial for diagnosis.
