Transscrotal transverse incision for the treatment of middle and low cryptorchidism in children: experience from 796 cases.
Article in BMC surgery, 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to summarize our clinical experience with transscrotal transverse incision in the treatment of low and middle cryptorchidism in children.
methodsA total of 796 children with low or middle cryptorchidism participated in this study from March 2012 to May 2018. Transscrotal transverse incision was used to treat low and middle cryptorchidism. Symptoms and signs were followed up at 1 week, 1 month, 3months and every six to 12 months thereafter.
resultsTesticular descent fixation through transverse scrotal incision was successfully performed in all 796 children. All patients were discharged 1-2 days after the operation. During hospitalization and follow-up, 35 patients had complications, including 7 cases of cryptorchidism recurrence, 5 cases of poor scrotal incision healing, and 23 cases of scrotal haematoma. There were no complications, such as bladder injury, testicular atrophy, inguinal hernia or hydrocele.
conclusionTransscrotal transverse incision is a safe and feasible method for the treatment of middle and low cryptorchidism. It has the advantages of less trauma and an aesthetic scar after operation.
