Acute epididymo-orchitis: relevance of local classification and partner's follow-up.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionAcute epididymo-orchitis (AEO) is a male urological emergency without an approved clinical classification. We aimed to determine the clinical value of proposed in 2012 local AEO classification system and summarize results of partner's follow-up. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 293 patients with AEO were enrolled into our study. Based on the investigated AEO classification, they were divided into four groups: 118 patients (40.3%) with Stage I AEO; 97 patients (33.1%) with Stage II AEO; 42 patients (14.3%) with Stage IIIA AEO; 36 patients (12.3%) with Stage IIIB AEO.If after 72 hours of conservative treatment there was no clinical improvement, AEO patients underwent surgery. We analyzed the clinical value of the investigated classification system and results of partner's follow-up.
resultsOnly 3 (2.5%) patients with Stage I AEO required surgery. In patients with Stage II AEO, conservative treatment was effective in 79 (81.4%) cases. A total of 27 (64.3%) patients with Stage IIIA and 36 (100%) patients with stage IIIB AEO underwent surgery. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were detected in 176 (60.1%) cases among 293 patients with AEO and bacterial infection in 117 (39.9%) cases. We registered a statistically lower incidence rate of trichomoniasis in AEO patients compared to their sole female partners (13.8% vs. 23.3%, p <0.05). Distribution of other STIs in AEO patients and their sole partners was similar.
conclusionsThe investigated classification system enables the determination of a treatment strategy in patients with AEO. Partner's follow-up allows for the clarification of the etiology of disease, complete evaluation of STIs and prevents reinfection in couples.
