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

Spontaneous retraction of the testes is a rare, underreported, and under-described phenomenon. Our case describes a 58-year-old man with spontaneous retraction and constriction of his right testis. After an acute orchidectomy was performed secondary to pain, histology revealed metastatic goblet cell cancer. This is the first ever recorded case in the medical literature and is a truly rare and novel differential for the spontaneously retracted testis.
