Patient transfer influences the prognosis of pediatric patients operated for testicular torsion: a single-center experience.

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
backgroundTesticular torsion (TT) remains an emerging issue for pediatric patients. This study's objective was to determine risk factors of TT outcomes in the Chinese pediatric cohort from a single center.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who met the inclusion criteria in our center from 2013 to 2018. Clinical demographics, and TT-related data, including laterality, torsion degree, torsion direction, position to the cavity of tunica vaginalis, enorchia, and outcomes, were reviewed and extracted from medical charts and databases. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare and figure out the risk factors of TT outcomes.
resultsA total of 84 pediatric patients were enrolled in this study. Among these variables, age, duration of symptoms, and the patient transfer were significantly associated with the outcomes of TT (P<0.005). Patients transferred from other medical facilities underwent more orchiectomy than those without transfer (univariate analysis, P<0.0001; multivariate analysis, P=0.001). No difference was found in other variables between patients with or without transfer (P>0.05). Moreover, transferred patients tended to show worse testicular function.
conclusionsWe have reported that age, duration of symptoms, and patient transfer were three significant risk factors in this cohort. Patients with transfer tended to suffer from more orchiectomy and worse prognosis of TT.
