Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy in a Patient With Zinner Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. 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
Introduction: Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital urogenital anomaly characterized by seminal vesicle cysts, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Surgical treatment for prostate cancer in this setting has been reported in only 2 previous cases. Case Presentation: A 67-year-old man with congenital left renal agenesis presented with voiding dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging identified a 6-cm seminal vesicle cyst and a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System category 4 prostatic lesion. Serum prostate-specific antigen was 1.3 ng/mL. Prostate biopsy revealed Gleason score 3 + 3 = 6 adenocarcinoma. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was performed using the posterior approach. Despite anatomical complexity and adhesions, the procedure was completed safely. Postoperative prostate-specific antigen became undetectable, and the patient achieved pad-free continence at 6 months. Conclusion: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was safely performed for prostate cancer arising in Zinner syndrome. Robot-assisted surgery is particularly valuable for complex anatomy caused by congenital anomalies.
