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

Segmental testicular infarction is a rare cause of acute scrotum and only a few cases have been reported. Torsion of the testis, testicular tumor and infection are important differential diagnoses. The present case report describes a 61-year-old man with left-sided testicular pain increasing over 24 h. The diagnosis of segmental testicular infarction was considered after color Doppler ultrasound of the left scrotum and it was confirmed by surgical exploration and pathological examination. Although it is uncommon, segmental testicular infarction should be taken into consideration when acute scrotal pain is encountered, especially for younger patients, since a testis-sparing treatment strategy can be performed.
