Current management of adolescent varicocele.
Article in Reviews in urology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
The finding of varicocele in an adolescent male is common. Varicocele rarely causes symptoms and is often diagnosed on the routine physical examination. There is clear association between varicocele and male factor infertility; however, there is debate about whether, when, and whom to treat when present in adult or adolescent males. This review of the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of the adolescent with varicocele will provide the reader with tools to make appropriate decisions in dealing with this condition.
