Supernumerary kidney associated with horseshoe kidney: A very rare congenital renal anomaly.

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
Supernumerary kidney is a rare congenital anomaly, and its coexistence with a horseshoe kidney is exceedingly uncommon. We report the case of an 18-year-old female who presented with a 1-month history of non-specific left flank pain. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a left native kidney with mild hydronephrosis and a caudally located accessory kidney fused superiorly to the native kidney and inferiorly to the lower pole of the right kidney, forming a horseshoe configuration. Computed tomography (CT) urography confirmed a small caudal supernumerary kidney contributing to the parenchymal isthmus and showed a malrotated accessory renal pelvis, while the native left and right renal pelvises were normally oriented. Mild hydronephrosis was limited to the native left kidney, with no evidence of obstruction. The patient was managed conservatively with clinical and imaging follow-up. Follow up ultrasound after 2 weeks demonstrated complete resolution of hydronephrosis and the patient remained asymptomatic. This case highlights an exceptionally rare combination of a supernumerary kidney with horseshoe fusion and underscores the critical role of imaging in accurate diagnosis, anatomical delineation and ongoing follow-up.
