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

This study aimed to compare the detection and ligation of patent processus vaginalis (PPV) between laparoscopy-assisted transscrotal orchidopexy (LATO) and single scrotal incision orchiopexy (SSIO) for low palpable undescended testis (UDT). We performed a retrospective medical record review of transscrotal orchidopexies performed for low palpable UDT at our institution from 2017 to 2019; 33 and 39 boys underwent LATO and SSIO, respectively. Data collection included patient demographics, incidence of PPV, operative time, and clinical outcomes. All 95 testes were delivered into the scrotum. There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to patients' age, side, and mean operative time. The incidence of PPV in the LATO group was significantly higher than that in the SSIO group (56.52 vs. 34.69%,
