Shear Wave Sonoelastography Findings of Testicles in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Who Undergo Hemodialysis.
Article in The Eurasian journal of medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveChronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to cause significant deterioration in the function of the testicles and sexual dysfunction in male patients who undergo hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to show the changes in the testicles that occur as a result of hypogonadism secondary to CKD and to analyze the elasticity of the parenchyma by shear wave sonoelastography. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn our study we included 28 male patients who undergo dialysis three times per week and 25 healthy volunteers. Firstly, B-mode ultrasonographic evaluation was performed in both testicles for structural analysis and to detect the presence of focal lesions. Afterward, the stiffness of the parenchyma was measured in kilopascals by shear wave sonoelastography.
resultsThe CKD group had lower right, left, and mean testicular volumes (p<0.001). The CKD group also displayed greater right, left, and mean testicular parenchymal stiffness (p<0.001).
conclusionCKD patients who undergo hemodialysis demonstrated significant changes in testicular size and stiffness in comparison to healthy volunteers.
