Testicular vein thrombosis mimicking epididymo-orchitis after suspected Covid-19 infection.

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
A 70-year-old man presented to our vein clinic with intermittent and recurrent left testicular and groin pain, clinically resembling epididymo-orchitis. He had never had any genitourinary problems until contracting a severe flu-like illness in January 2020, strongly suspected to have been Covid-19. He had failed to respond on four separate occasions to antibiotics prescribed by his GP and had only responded on these occasions to aspirin. Duplex ultrasonography at our clinic showed thrombosis of the left testicular vein with venous collateral formation. The testicle itself showed mild oedema, but a reduced arterial flow supporting the pain to be secondary to thrombosis. Covid-19 is known to be associated with venous thromboembolic disease, but usually in patients sick enough to be hospitalised and particularly in those requiring intensive care. This man appears to have had a left testicular vein thrombosis secondary to relatively mild Covid-19 infection, as he did not require hospitalisation.
