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

Urethral duplication is an infrequent anomaly classified by the Effmann system into three main types: incomplete (Type I), complete (Type II), and those with a duplicated bladder (Type III). Types I and II have further subcategories. Type I A and Type II A2 are most common, while Type II A1 (complete urethral duplication with epispadias) is rare. Due to its rarity and heterogeneity, there is no standardized surgical treatment. This article presents a surgical case of Type II A1, detailing a straightforward, minimally invasive technique with favorable outcomes and no complications compared to previously reported techniques.
