Management of testicular torsion <360° in children: a single-center, retrospective study.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to summarize clinical manifestations, and physical examination, laboratory examination, and ultrasound results of children with testicular torsion <360°.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of children who were diagnosed with testicular torsion <360° between October 2007 and October 2017.
resultsThere were 11 (19.2%) patients with testicular torsion of 90°, 33 (58.0%) with 180°, and 13 (22.8%) with 270°. The median age of onset was 5.7 years (range, 1-14 years) and the median duration of symptoms was 4.2 days (range, 0.5-5 days). Ultrasound showed low blood flow in 46 (80.8%) patients. The testis was retained in 41 (72.0%) patients and resected in 16 (28.0%). The testes appeared necrotic at 2 to 3 days after onset for patients with 270° torsion, appeared necrotic at 3 to 4 days after onset for those with 180° torsion, and were not necrotic at 4 to 5 days after onset for those with 90° torsion. The duration of symptoms in children decreased as the torsion angle increased.
conclusionChildren with testicular torsion <360° are relatively young, while the duration of symptoms is relatively long. A high postoperative testicular survival rate is one of the clinical features in this study.
