A case of torsion of the undescended testes.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Abdominal pain and vomiting are common presenting symptoms in young children, and there are a myriad of differential diagnoses ranging from benign to life-threatening. We present the case of a 20-month-old boy who came to the emergency department with abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. Initially, he was thought to have intussusception with a necrotic lead point based on clinical signs, laboratory findings, and ultrasonography, but was taken to the operating room after air enema failed to demonstrate an intussusceptum. He was ultimately diagnosed with torsion of an undescended testicle. Few cases of torsion of the undescended testes are reported in literature.
