Congenital duplicated ureter-vagina anomalous anastomosis causing female urinary incontinence: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. 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
Ectopic ureter is a rare congenital anomaly, often challenging to diagnose due to atypical anatomical positioning and variable clinical presentations. Consideration should be given to the possibility of an ectopic ureteral orifice in young women presenting with persistent, unexplained urinary incontinence. This report details a 22-year-old nulliparous female presenting with persistent urinary incontinence. Imaging revealed left ureteral dilatation, with CT suggesting a possible connection between the distal ureter and vagina. Magnetic resonance imaging of the urinary system confirmed bilateral renal abnormalities with double ureteral malformations, hydronephrosis on the left side, and ectopic opening of the left ureter into the anterior vaginal wall, accompanied by a bicornuate uterus. Cystoscopy confirmed a double ureteric orifice on the right side and an ectopic left ureteral opening into the vagina. The patient underwent intraoperative cystoscopy, ureter cystostomy, and double-J stent placement. At the two-month post-operative follow-up, the patient's urinary incontinence symptoms and left-sided hydronephrosis with ureteral dilatation had completely resolved. Normal urinary function was restored, and the double-J stents were successfully removed via cystoscopy. This case underscores the need for heightened vigilance regarding congenital ectopic ureteral orifices in young women with no history of childbirth or surgery presenting with urinary incontinence. The combination of cystoscopy and imaging aids in definitive diagnosis, with surgical reimplantation yielding favorable outcomes. Early identification and intervention are crucial for improving prognosis.
