Testicular infarction in a patient with sickle cell anemia: A case report.
Article in International journal of health sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Sickle cell anemia is one of the common inherited hemoglobinopathy disorders. It affects patient quality of life through different types of complications. Brain, lung, kidney, spleen, and bone marrow commonly affected; however, testicular infarction is rarely happened. This is a 29-year-old Saudi male who is known for sickle cell disease (SCD). He presented with left scrotal pain and swelling for 1 week which did not respond to antibiotic. Scrotal ultrasound showed swollen heterogeneous hypoechoic left testicle with no blood flow, suggesting testicular infarction. Despite medical treatment, the patient went for orchiectomy. Pathology revealed extensive testicular infarction. Up to our knowledge, this is the first case report of testicular infarction in SCD in Arab countries, and the sixth case reported worldwide. Early diagnosis and doing unnecessary surgical intervention still unavoidable as there is lack of information. We think writing the first case of testicular infarction in sickle cell patients with Arab haplotype is worthful and it will add to the literature.
