1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 infarction is a known serious complication associated with epididymitis. It is known to be idiopathic in 70% of cases but the frequency, risk factors, and management are yet to be elucidated. This paper aims to report a case of testicular infarction secondary to pyogenic epididymoorchitis caused CASE PRESENTATION: A 64-year-old male with a past medical history of benign prostate hypertrophy using intermittent self-catheterization and a recent history of culture-negative pyogenic epididymoorchitis treated with oral cefpodoxime was admitted to our hospital due to a 4-week history of fever, right scrotal pain, and swelling. Scrotal ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic testis without testicular torsion. He was diagnosed with testicular infarction and a scrotal abscess due to

conclusionThis is a case of testicular necrosis during the treatment of epididymitis with negative urine culture and detection of
