Importance of Touch: Managing Testicular Torsion in a 28-Year-Old With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case report highlights a case of testicular torsion in a man over the age of 25 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), who presented with an atypical pain history, and a Testicular Workup for Ischaemia and Suspected Torsion (TWIST) score negative for exploration. However, based purely on the examination findings, scrotal exploration was performed and a torted testis was found. The report demonstrates that in this cohort of patients, a higher index of suspicion is needed to ensure early recognition of the condition. Furthermore, scrotal exploration can be safely conducted under local anaesthesia given the multiple cardiovascular and spinal co-morbidities attributed to DMD.
