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

Urachal remnants (UR) are clinically significant conditions with both infectious and malignant potential. However, the long-term outcomes of surgical treatment remain poorly documented. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological features and long-term outcomes of 14 adult patients with UR complicated by purulent omphalitis. The cohort comprised 12 men and 2 women, with a median age of 32.5 years (range, 21-69 years). Non-elective surgery was performed in seven patients. A histopathological examination confirmed microscopic urachal structures in 10 cases, whereas marked inflammatory infiltration precluded definitive identification of urachal tissue in four cases. All patients underwent meticulous postoperative monitoring. During a median follow-up of 78 months (range, 46-183 months), no recurrence of omphalitis was observed. These findings suggest that surgical resection may achieve durable disease control even without the histological confirmation of urachal tissue.
